Suggestion:
In Crystal Reports create a new Parameter Field and your formula field.
In VB create your global variable, add a new form to your project, and then add a Crystal Reports viewer to the form.

To pass the value to the report you can use the Form's load event something like this...

Private Sub MyForm_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As .....)
dim CReport as new MyCrystalReportName
Me.CrystalReportViewer1.SetParameterValue("CR_parameterName", VBvar)
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = CReport
End Sub

In Crystal Reports use the parameter in the formula field to pass the value. Hope this help.
