Using arrow keys in Visual Basic code?

I have a group of textboxes for a tab editor. 6 vertcle, 25 horizonal. ( numeric guitar sheet music) I want to be able to navigate them with the arrow keys. If I number them in chronological order from the bottm left, the up arrow key would be "+1", down arrow key "-1", the left key "-6", & the right arrow key "+6". That way I can navigate any possible way on the array. My question is, "How do I do this in code?". ( I have never had a school coarse of any kind in programming-learning. I'm learning Visual Basic Express at home. It ties in with a chord finder & a scale finder, which display on a fretboard. All that is working.)

(I'm building this at home for guitar teaching friends.)

Thanx in advance to all who can help.

Update:

David, I read the section on keyup, along with keydown, but unfortunately, there was no code reguarding changing focus from one control to another in it. Thanx for trying though. I'm still searching MSDN myself.
