Replace the word Sub with Function throughout the procedure.

Don't forget that a function should return a value.
I don't see why you can't add the sub to the on_click event but you probably have a good reason for that.
Here you can find some explanation about the difference : http://www.baldyweb.com/SubFunction.htm

There's something odd about calling functions or subs, sometimes you can't call a sub. (I might have the wrong end of the stick- Need to check when I get home) I'll put a link in when I find it.

I saw he mentioned macro's... I never use macro's behind buttons. I always use "Code Builder" and call my sub or function from there. Never had a problem calling subs that way...

Please note the remarks on that page which Direct you to the "RunCommand"

Application.RunCommand Method (Access)

DoMenuItem has been replaced by the run command in MS Access versions 97 and up.
