RTF box text color

In starting to play with RTF boxes, I created a form with an rtf box and 2 buttons to show text w/ attributes. It works fine on my Win98 machine but the color does not work on my XP machine. Here is the code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
rtfBox1.Text = "This is the text for the RTF box"
rtfBox1.Font = "Courier New"
End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()
rtfBox1.SelColor = RGB(255, 0, 0) ' sets text to red
rtfBox1.Text = "more text" ' overwrites prev text, as it should
End Sub

I can't see any difference in the RTF control and I'm running VB6.0 on both machines.

Any ideas?

hm ... I killed the RTF control component and the box and did them all over again on the XP machine and now it says that selcolor is not a legal method, even though help says it is.

ForeColor does the job, but why am I getting an error on selcolor when help says it's the right thing to do?
