I'm still not sure how DirectInput games will come into play with my machine. I guess I'll have to cross that bridge when I fall in the water. I suppose I can learn about DirectInput later and add in code to deal with those games at that point. I'll add a flag right away in my database; Input Type (DirectInput or Keyboard Input).

I tried that guy's demo, pasted the Class Module directly in my project, I called his version of SendKeys with "{LEFT}" and the Left Arrow worked like a charm in my game.

WOOHOO! I'm back on track.
