It's a lot easier to use the keydown event, however, if you want to you keyascii try this

(considering keyascii letters start with a= 97)

form_keyascii
select case keycode(or whatever it is)
case 100
imgball.left = imgball.left - 500
end select

or you could set up a timer

form_keyascii
select case keycode
case 100
timer1.enabled = true
end select

timer1_timer
imgball.left = imgball.left - 500
