I believe it's because there is no mechanism in place to write the contents of the rbbeditor into the variable assigned to the Variable RichEdit Control... The little editor I made works pretty good, but for the purpose you wish to use it, there are several elements of it you might want to get rid. For my every day useage, I used the variable Richedit as a basis for two separate editors. The one I changed the vRichedit control to a vMemo where formatting wasn't an issue because the Memo control still supports Returns and Tabs, so the basic structure of formatting is preserved, without bold, font change and color.
