RichTextBox can't save file

Hi to all,

I'm having an error when trying to save the contents of richtextbox. But putting it a message box it works.
Error is: Unsupported file format .......

RichTextBox1.SaveFile(Application.StartupPath & "\" & Format(Date.Now.ToString("mmddyy hh:mm") & ".DAT"))

Can someone help me on this?
Thank you very much.

Maybe you need to specify the file format like this

VB Code:

RichTextBox1.SaveFile(Application.StartupPath & "\" & Format(Date.Now.ToString("mmddyy hh:mm") & ".DAT"),RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText)

Regards
Jorge

I see "hh:mm", a windows filename cannot have the ":" character in it.....
