I want to generate a file on the WebServer that captures text from a WebListBox, formats it behind the scenes, and writes the data in RTF format. Then I can present this as a link for the user to download.

I am sure I do not understand working with RTF well enough. I am creating a StyledText object and trying to leverage it as the base object for writing the RTF data - but I think I am missing something.

I have also attempted the memory block approach - but let's have this discussion first before I start that conversation.

Dim t As New StyledText
t.Text = WebList.Cell(0,0)
t.TextColor(5, 30) = &cFF0000 //attempt at including some RTF extensions

Dim f as New FolderItem
f = SpecialFolder.Desktop.Child("Test.rtf")

If f <> nil then
Dim s as TextOutputStream
s = TextOutputStream.Create(f)
s.Write t.RTFData // <---------- this is where the error occurs
s = nil
End if
