Based on Status where would I put code that would allow me to choose either
of a two other fields.

show field1

show field2;

    Create a calculated field in the dataset.

    Are there disadvantages to using a TppLabel or TppVariable and providing the
    Caption or Text property either in the GetText event of the component or the
    BeforePrint event of the band?

    Thanks,

    Another option is to toggle the visible property of two labels.

    Sorry about the late response.

    My strucutre is to save all of my reports to a DB table. I do not like to
    have any code/events in my applications that relates any particular report.
    To date, with around 100 reports, I do not have a single line of code for
    any report in my code (and I am not using RAP, yet). This keeps my report
    handeling mechinism to a minimum, and the code is very clean.

    So I would lean towards using calculated fields because of this. If your
    structure is different (different forms, different reports), then either
    method would work for you.
