visual basic 6 code for letters

good morning all to you from damp and raining wales http://forums.majorgeeks.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

can someone tell me the code for an action to occur if a letter is pressed on the keyboard
i don't want to use command buttons

All I can find, I do not think this will be a simple thing, youll have to have some sort of loop or something continously testing for keyboard input. There may be a way to set up control to take input like alt-F4 presses a button. I am not sure.

i found what i was looking for ive been asked to compile a program that ends with the input
-1 using only input and message boxes ,now i've got to cover the error trapping which i'm alright on. i'll cover the loop by while and wend
