Store the value in a table, and use DLookup in the text box to display the
name on the report.
For example, if you have a table named tblSys, with fields:
TheVariable (text, indicating what is stored, primary key)
TheValue (text)

you could create a record like this:
CompanyName XYZ Ltd
Then the text box on the report would have this Control Source:
=DLookup("TheValue", "tblSys", "TheVariable = 'CompanyName'")
