Private Sub Form_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
Print Chr(KeyAscii)
End Sub

what do you mean?

nothing happens when i put that code in.... it only seems to work when i put it in it's own seperate program. My program has buttons and other things that i think might interfere with your code's functionallity.

well since its form_keypress you need to have your form active.. click on some empty space...

its also not gonna work if you named your form anything other then form

Make sure the key preview property is set to true on the form designer.
