How to name a new field for autosetunboundfieldsource

I am developing an application which reads in a report template (.rpt) file and binds data at runtime (using AutoSetUnboundFieldSource) to generate the required report. The method I am using is similar to unbound fields, except that I am using a .rpt file instead of a .dsr file.

When using the .dsr file (in VB with RDC), everytime a new unbound field is added, the name of the field has to be provided in the properties dialog. This name is not the same name of the formula name (name of formula field in field explorer).

However, when editing the report template using Crystal Report, there does not seems to be a way to edit this name (referred to as an item name in the report object). Does anyone know if this can be done and if so how.

Thanks in advance.
