No that's not correct, here is the same code with some comments

Private Declare Function FindWindowEx Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowExA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal hWndChild As Long, ByVal lpszClassName As Any, ByVal lpszWindow As Any) As Long
 
Private m_cFB As New cFormBackground
Sub InitBackground()
    Dim w As Long
    ' Get a handle to the MDIClient window in the Access Window
    w = FindWindowEx(Application.hWndAccessApp, 0, "MDIClient", "")
    With m_cFB
        .Init w
        ' Attach the picture you specify to the window handle
        ' and Tile it.
        .Tile.FileName = App.Path & "\marb_gif.gif"
    End With
End Sub

In the Visual Basic Editor, goto the Tools/References... Menu, and Select the DLL you Downloaded.
