• Using the Crystal reports designer, the export is successful & independent of the amount of data.

• Crystal Reports 2008 
• Visual Studio 2005
• Windows XP

• Run the report that uses ADO.NET XML in a Visual Studio .NET application
• Use the viewer export button to export to XML
• Or, use the following code:

       ExportOptions exportOpts = new ExportOptions();
        DiskFileDestinationOptions diskOpts =
           ExportOptions.CreateDiskFileDestinationOptions();

        exportOpts.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.Xml;
        exportOpts.ExportDestinationType =
           ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;

        diskOpts.DiskFileName = fileName;
        exportOpts.ExportDestinationOptions = diskOpts;

        Report.Export(exportOpts);
