Why do you want to export crystal reports to a text file?

There's no option for .txt in CR, but, you can still get a bad version of .txt if you want.

        Try
            Dim CrExportOptions As ExportOptions
            Dim CrDiskFileDestinationOptions As New DiskFileDestinationOptions()
            Dim CrFormatTypeOptions As New PdfRtfWordFormatOptions
            CrDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = "YourDestination"
            CrExportOptions = myReportDocument.ExportOptions
            With CrExportOptions
                .ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile
                .ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.RichText
                .DestinationOptions = CrDiskFileDestinationOptions
                .FormatOptions = CrFormatTypeOptions
            End With
            myReportDocument.Export()
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.ToString)
        End Try
