I'm sure there is a simple way to make a keystrok such as the up arrow adjust the location of the picture box, however I don't know how to tell the program to perhaps

VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.  picturebox1.location = picturebox1.location + 1

when a key is pressed...

help please!

handle it with keyDown Event.
this following code is form keydown event, you can do same with other controls.
vb.net Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.  Private Sub Search_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown
  2.         If e.KeyCode = Keys.Up Then
  3.             'PictureBox1.Top -= 10
  4.             MsgBox("Key Up Pressed")
  5.         ElseIf e.KeyCode = Keys.Down Then
  6.             'PictureBox1.Top += 10
  7.             MsgBox("Key Top Pressed")
  8.         ElseIf e.KeyCode = Keys.Left Then
  9.             'PictureBox1.Left -= 10
  10.             MsgBox("Key Left Pressed")
  11.         ElseIf e.KeyCode = Keys.Right Then
  12.             'PictureBox1.Left += 10
  13.             MsgBox("Key Right Pressed")
  14.         End If
  15.     End Sub
