  Hope I'm not too late with this! Setting headings at runtime is basically simple, but I ran into a number of snags and the following is how I got mine to work.
  
  In freeReport create a variable (File/Variables and click on Variables...)
  Type a category aligned to left margin
  Next line type TWO spaces followed by your variable name (in my experience one space does not work!)
  eg
  
  Titles
  Title1var
  
  Click OK and OK again
  
  Double click your textbox and type "Title is [Title1Var]
  If you use the variable button it will insert [ Title1Var] which does not work unless you remove the extra space.
  
  Now in your Delphi code put
  
  frReport1.LoadFromFile('Filename.frf');
  frVariables := 'Your Title';
  frReport1.ShowReport;
  
  Good luck!
  Let me know if it works for you too.

  Title1Var had two spaces in front of it when I typed the above example variable declaration!
