testing whether the "down arrow" or "up arrow" is pressed on 1

[griet]

I want to detect whether the down arrow is pressed or not in a field on a form in Access 2000.
Can I do something with the ascii-code, and what is the ascii-code for the down arrow ?
Do I have to use the keypress event ?

use the KeyDown Event for the textbox, ensure you set the Form's KeyPreview Event to Yes. This Code will get you started

Private Sub Text1_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
If KeyCode = 38 Then
MsgBox "UpArrow"
ElseIf KeyCode = 40 Then
MsgBox "DownArrow"
Else
MsgBox "Other Key"
End If
End Sub
