Launching a "File - Browse" window

Q1: I'm looking for a particular VBA function or text box tool for MS Access 97. I want to open a File, Browse window that returns the path to a user-selected file? I will be placing this returned path into a text box and associated field. I know this can be done with a VB6 tool and function, but with Access...?

Q2: How can I launch an application with VBA, other than using the program's actual .exe file? (similar to opening Microsoft Word by executing a file with the .doc extension)
