If you look at the code behind the CommandButton you will see:

Private Sub cmdChangeMDI_Click()
Dim blRet As Boolean
    ' Since we are not passing a filename of a Bitmap file
    ' the standard Window File Dialog will popup.
    blRet = SetMDIBackGroundImage()
End Sub

The SetMDIBackGroundImage Sub is coded to take an optional string
parameter to specify a filename. If you do not pass a filename then the
standard Windows File Dialog is opened for the user to select a file.
So to specify a file simply pass a valid string containing the full path
and filename of the desired image.

Private Sub cmdChangeMDI_Click()
Dim blRet As Boolean
    ' Since we are not passing a filename of a Bitmap file
    ' the standard Window File Dialog will popup.
    blRet = SetMDIBackGroundImage("C:\1.bmp")
End Sub
