here's my problem

With IRCform.ActiveForm.txtOutput
   .Text = IRCform.ActiveForm.txtOutput.Text & ">>> VERSION" 
   'add ">>> VERSION" to richtextbox
   'select text "VERSION"
   .SelStart = Len(IRCform.ActiveForm.txtOutput.Text) - 7
   .SelLength = 7
   'bold text "VERSION"
   .SelBold = True
   'add some text after the bolded "VERSION"
   .Text = .Text & " requested by " & nick & " <<<"
   '&¤!#%"!& the "VERSION" text isn't bold anymore :/
End With

so you got the idea? could someone tell what's wrong, or a similar way of doing this...
