I am currently using the version of Crystal Reports included with Visual Basic .NET and would like to use a delimited text file as the data source. Is there any way that I can do this and grab each of the different fields, or do I have to use each line as one large field and just use formulas to break that line up into smaller fields?

Use a TEXT ODBC driver (e.g., Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt; *.csv)

It's already on your PC. Just create a new ODBC data source using:
START, Settings, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Data Sources (ODBC).
