Inserting the file path into a table

I am developing an access database which records the details of specific in-house data analysis jobs carried out by information staff.
I want to include some sort of function where the user clicks a button and can navigate ( maybe via a file-browser-type box?) to the file(s) they have created, and selecting it inserts it into the path field for that job in the main table.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure if it's the same as before, but you could try the following link:

It's an API that replaces the common dialog, which for me works very well.
No comment has been added lately, so it's time to clean up this TA.
