I don't know if anyone else is having this problem but if i use the inkey$ command then it only registers if one key is pressed. So if I were to press "w" and "d" at the same time DBPro would only register the last key to be pressed and so stop doing what ever i had told it to do if the first key was pressed.

That's how INKEY$ works.

If you need multiple keys to be detected at once, you'll need to use the KEYSTATE function to check them. Unfortunately you need to use keyboard scancodes to check the keys pressed - each key has a unique number from 1 to 255 allocated to it - luckily, someone will probably soon appear and post a link to a graphic of the keyboard layout with scancodes...

Heres a program to find the scan code faster or just use this code
