Ex: once it presses key 1 i would like it to wait 4 secs and then press the number 2 key and then wait 4 more secs and press number 3 key. And I am sorry I would also like these statements to loop until I press a certain combination of keys for ex: Alt +N. So it would pretty much stop the application from executing. Can some1 pls help me thank you!!!

Also, to do what you want, you need to add a timer to your form. If you want it to run through every 4 seconds, like you said, you need to set it's interval to 4000 (because the interval is measured in 1/1000 secs). Then, put this code vb Dim key As Integer Private Sub Timer1_Timer() key = key + 1 SendKeys (CStr(key)) If key = 3 Then key = 0 Timer1.Enabled = False End If End Sub That will send the keys 1, 2, and then 3, with a delay of 4 seconds between each.
