VBA - Export To Txt

I currently have a code to save my sheet as a txt file with specific formatting in the filename. I would ideally like to just export the file to txt rather than save as while keeping my specific format of the filename...that way it doesn't actually save the excel sheet itself as that filename. I currently have a workaround for it, but I think this would be easier/better. Hopefully that made a little sense. Here is the current code I am working with.

Sub save()

Dim MyPath As String
Dim F As String

MyPath = ActiveWorkbook.Path & ""
F = Sheets("Import Data").Range("M12").Value

Sheets("LVY File").Select

ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=MyPath & F & ".lvy", FileFormat:= _
xlText, CreateBackup:=False

Sheets(F).Delete
Sheets.Add(After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)).Name = "LVY File"
Sheets("Import Data").Select

End Sub
