browsing for a file and entering it as a hyperlink in a form

Right, I've done lots of searching and I've been here:
http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm

And then I followed these instructions from Allen Browne:

1. Click on the Modules tab of the Database Container.
Click new. Access opens a new module.
2. Paste in everything between:
'***************** Code Start **************
and
************** Code End *****************
3. Save the module with a name such as modAPI.
4. Still in the code window, choose Compile on the Debug menu to ensure
Access understands this.
5. Press Ctrl+G to open the Immediate Window.
Enter this:
? TestIt()
Now that you have the code working, you can use it in the Click event
procedure of your button.


Now how exactly do I use it in the click event of my button and then how do
I get the link to be returned to my field on the form???

There are loads of answers directing me to that website, but then it all
gets a bit to vague for my little brain...

Any help (step by step instructions) would be fantastic - Thanks!

I am having the same problem. I guess I am a lot more rusty with
this then I thought.
