There have been allot of good suggestions on this topic.
I have tried allot of diferent approaches with no success so far from using a
Cursor Key to using AddHandlers against the Keyboard object and the Key Object
and even the Event as documented in an Excel article.
I have noted some things that may yet leave questions hanging from Bruce's idea
of a timing issue to storing the event handler variables which is done in
Chip's example and not in a vb.net application except where I defined a Delegat
to hold the address of the ffunctions to get executed when an OnKeyUp and
OnKeyDown are suppose to be fired.
I am currently ReReading all your posts for all the threads again to see if I
can pick up on anything I may not have tried and will set up an organized
document of ReAttempting solutions based on all your ideas.
You all have put allot of time into trying to help so the least I can do is to
ReEvaluate all ideas before giving up.
I'll post up in a week or so after carefully evaluating each test just to let
you all know if I got it working.
Thanks for all the suggestions:
