Deactivating keys

[Gregory]

I am trying to turn off certain keyboard keys and can't find the listing for the codes for the keys. VB has a keycode function that gives an ascii listing of the key values but I can't seem to get it to work. I am trying to deactivate the arrow keys

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Hi,
If you want the KeyCodes for the arrow keys, put this in any form's
KeyDown event (make sure KeyPreview is set to yes) and then press the keys

Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
MsgBox KeyCode
End Sub
