here the code i am using atm

this.Text = "RFT Editor:" + saveFileDialog1.FileName;

Do you mean Rich Text File? That's RTF. RFT is Rational Functional Tester. — Yamikuronue, Mar 14 '12 at 14:54

Your question is poorly worded. You don't describe how the result you are getting is different from what you'd like it to be.

I can only guess the problem is that "RFT Editor:" + saveFileDialog1.FileName gives you a file name with an entire path, and to get "RFT Editor:docment.rft" as in your example you'd need "RFT Editor:" + System.IO.Path.GetFileName(saveFileDialog1.FileName) instead.

Assuming you need this:

...
...

// Save clicked inside, not Cancel
if(saveFileDialog1.openDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
    // this.Text is same as only Text - in case of current class (matter of choice)
    Text = "RTF Editor: " + savefileDialog1.FileName;
    ...
    ...
}
