Use the Parameters collection on the report.
Create a string parameter on the report and place it somewhere.
Add a value to the parameter in code in VB6 something like

crxReport.ParameterFields.GetItemByName("PArameter_Name").AddCurrentValue "<Some_Value>"

Then call the report and the value will be int he parameter field on the report. You can format the parameter field the same as a text box.
