crystl32.ocx pass formula to report 1

[RBSTR]

Hi
I have received an enquiry from a custoemr using an old VB6 project. The VB6 project uses crystl32.ocx (Crystal Report Control).
I want to pass some text into a report when called by the VB6 project.
I thought I would add a formula to the report then change it's text at run time in my VB code.
I thought I would try and set the Formulas(x) to the text I wish to pass but it does not seem to work.
If I loop through Formulas() in the code none of them seem to return anything, though there are formulas in the report with values set.
Any ideas?

It is possible to set a formula text via the API but it is easier to pass values into the report via parameters. Consider that approach instead.
