I think I know what you want to do. It is better if you do with this from Form. When you generated the report some text from windows from will show in your report.

Like if you have Text field Object named "Text1" in crytalreport.

Dim N As New ReportObject
Dim FObj As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.TextObject = N.ReportDefinition.ReportObjects("Text1")
FObj.Text = "Client Name"
N.SetDatasource(Dataset)
crystalreportviewer.reportsource=N
