?? When you press these buttons, which control should respond? A textbox, no matter the focus; the form?
 
Use the keyPressed event for the control you want to handle the event. You can also turn 'key preview' on for the form and handle it in the form's keyPressed event.

Reece,
If you are refering to sending keyboard strokes or presses then you could try the following
SendKeys.Send("^A")
or
SendKeys.Send("^+A")

cheers,

When using SendKeys, make sure you import System.Windows.Forms at the top of your code.
Code:
Imports System.Windows.Forms

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the suggestions and I will certainly make use of them. Maybe I should give some more details as to why I want to code key strokes. I have an Office Web Component Pivot table in an HTML. Now I would like to export the data in the Pivot Table as a .csv to my system but, I do not know exactly how to do that but, I know that I will manage by codeing Ctrl-A and the go Ctrl-C in Excel. That way I will have the data in Excel. I will make use of the above suggestions but, if anyone knows how to do this in VBScript then, it will help even more. Thanks again :-)
