I'm not sure if I follow you on this one. nKeyCode is a keypress parameter and
24 is INKEY() value for the DnArrow. I'm using a CASE statement because I check
for other keypress values but for simplicity I used an IF example.

So for the above code I would press the DnArrow key, display the next value and
return to the Text2 object.
