behind your command button like the following example:
Dim bRetVal As Boolean
bRetVal = ChangeWallPaper("ChangeTo","C:\Windows\Bubbles.bmp")
-OR-
Dim bRetVal As Boolean
bRetVal = ChangeWallPaper("ChangeBack")
..which will change the wallpaper back to the previous setting.
That's it!
To access the "Reference" screen, you need to be within any module and select Tools, References
