Set KeyPreview as True on form properties.
Then add this following code :

Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
'make sure KeyPreview is True on Form Properties
    'On Error Resume Next
    Select Case KeyCode
        Case vbKeyUp
            MsgBox "Up"
        Case vbKeyDown
            MsgBox "Down"
        Case vbKeyLeft
            MsgBox "Left"
        Case vbKeyRight
            MsgBox "Right"
    End Select
End Sub
