If it is set as a hyperlink and not just text, then the user need only click
on the hyperlink to open the file.
Otherwise you could simply use the FollowHyperlink method.
Application.FollowHyperlink "FullPath\FileName"
So you could do something like
If Me.ControlName="" Then
'Call File Dialog
Else
Application.FollowHyperlink "FullPath\FileName"
End if
For the file dialog code take a look at
