Loading a control box in a Report

[NWTrust]

I have a form which contains an unbound control called "software". On opening the form, control "software" is loaded with the contents of Public string "SelectedSoftware" in "On Activate" with no problems.
I want to do the same with a Report but cannot load "software" with the contents of the string "SelectedSoftware". I have tried it in "On Activate", "On Got Focus" and other places but with no success. Can anyone help me, please.

I would create a small public function that returns the value. Then add a control source of:
=MyNewFunctionName()
