Please, post Crystal Reports version, Programming Language and Object used (RDC or OCX) to help You.

The general answer is : Add a Formula field to your report and modify it (the formula) in your application before print the report

If the formula in Crystal Reports is the FIRST one and it is named AAA and the the text of the formula is

Trim("Here Goes Some Text")

The syntax in a VB6 app is :

cptreports.Formulas(0) = "AAA= Trim(' " &  "Here Goes New Text"  & " ')"
