How do I Rename Objects placed on Report and Stop the Labels from being Created?

edited April 2006 in End User
In the RB Designer 10.02, how do I rename the object created when the
user drags a field from a pipeline onto the report surface? It appears
in the Properties as DBTextX etc. I would like it to say the name of
the pipeline field.

I would also like to be able to stop the designer from automatically
creating a label for each field I drag into the report surface in the
detail section. How can I accomplish that?

    - you can either set the UserName property via the object inspector or edit
    the node in the outline tree (press right mouse and select Rename). UserName
    is intended to be edited at run-time. The Designer displays the user name
    property of the objects and the RAP language uses user name to identify an
    object.

    - the Data tree has a layout tab at the bottom. Select the Layout tab and
    then configure it the drag and drop behavior from there. You can specify
    whether to create labels, dbText, or both. You can specify the font of each.
    You can specify wether to draw a grid style box around each item.
