Having the extra fields created is the best way to do it. When the report is
loaded, you bind the appropriate field to your data control. You could also do
it
with a calculated field and a case statement using a variable that gets set when
the report gets loaded.

Actually it's depend on what report is that.
For eg: Report 1 will print dvDate - 1 day, Report 2 will print dvDate- 1
week, report 3 will print dvDate - 30days etc ...
It wil be quite troublesome for me to create additional field though ..
I believe there must be some build in function in Rave Report for Date
calculation(Something like dvDate - 1 - but apparently this doesnt works :o)

Is this an occasion for a calculated field? Set it up in the database or
the query, and then link your text control to that field instead of the
normal one.
