I am creating a browse button in access to put a path into a text box as a hyperlink.  I'm having a syntax error on the

Private Sub OF_to_MSAOF(of As OPENFILENAME, msaof As MSA_OPENFILENAME)
 msaof.strFullPathReturned = Left(of.lpstrFile, InStr(of.lpstrFile, vbNullChar)
- 1)
 msaof.strFileNameReturned = of.lpstrFileTitle
 msaof.intFileOffset = of.nFileOffset
 msaof.intFileExtension = of.nFileExtension
End Sub

thanks!  Code is the full module
