rcftext?

[aikidokid]

I was advised to change to the following

rtbNotes.savefile App.Path & "\Notes\" & NotesName & ".not", rcftext

What does rcftext do?

I think it's a mistype.... it should read RTFText..... it tells the RTB to save it as plain text, as oppposed to full RTF, which is the default.

That should be rtftext. Here's the explanation from MSDN:

Settings

The settings for filetype are:

rtfRTF : The RichTextBox control saves its contents as an .rtf file.
rtfText : The RichTextBox control saves its contents as a text file.

(oops, too slow.)

It should be rtfText and not rcfText.
If you use rtfText then RichTextBox control saves its contents as a text file or
If u use rtfRTF then The RichTextBox control saves its contents as an .rtf file.

Savefile method contents of your RichtexBox to a 2 types of files:
1. rtfRTF 0 (Default) - Rich Text Format (almost like MS Word)
2. rtfText 1 Text - Regular ASCII format (plain text)

Sorry for typo. Must be:
Savefile method can save contents ...

No, it doesn't have to be rtfText - it could be either one.

Um.... rcfText isn't an option..... even your post said so....I think he typed rcfText, but mean rtfText.....
