    Have you tried the master.dbo.syslogins table? It has a column for each SQL Server fixed role. If the value in the column is 1 then the login is a member of the corresponding role.

    Enterprise manager export truncates columns

    Need help writing a unique Script

    You could use client side vbscript or jscript to achieve this. You would capture the keydown event and evaluate the keycode to determine which key was pressed and execute the desired code. This could not be accomplished with server side vbscript.
