keydown type thing.

How would you make a private sub form_keydown, without having to have the form in focus?

What i want is for if you have my program open, but are currently focused on program, and hit "enter" then lblmessage = "yo" lets say.

Use the GetAsyncKeyState API function.

Private Declare Function GetAsyncKeyState Lib "user32" _
(ByVal vKey As Long) As Integer
 
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()    
If GetAsyncKeyState(iKey) Then lblmessage.Caption = "yo"
End Sub
