You may wish to consider using OpenArgs. When calling the report via
code, you can pass it arguments via the DoCmd.OpenReport, then with
the OnOpen code, change the caption of the current report. I do this
with an form that I use to determine date range (changes form caption
to be the name of the report it is called to open) and it works like a
charm.

DoCmd.OpenReport ReportTest, acPreview,,,,"Report Caption"

Then in the on open handler:
Caption = OpenArgs

or something similar to fit your needs.
