place the declare and the HyperJump into standard module

   ' function for url launcher
   Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" _ 
                            Alias "ShellExecuteA" ( _
                            ByVal hWnd As Long, _
                            ByVal lpOperation As String, _
                            ByVal lpFile As String, _
                            ByVal lpParameters As String, _
                            ByVal lpDirectory As String, _
                            ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
   
 
   Sub HyperJump(ByVal URL As String)
      Call ShellExecute(0&, vbNullString, URL, vbNullString, vbNullString, 
vbNormalFocus)
   End Sub

following code will open this website in the default browser.:

   module1.HyperJump("http://p2p.wrox.com")

Hope this answers your request..
