does that mean that your problem is solved? :)
when a button is presses, i assume you do already know how actionListener works.

did you read the sun tutorial (my first post, the JFileChooser was a link (as is this one)? it explains the usage quite thoroughly...

a quote almost but not quite 1/4 down the page

int returnVal = fc.showOpenDialog(FileChooserDemo.this);

        if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
            File file = fc.getSelectedFile();
            //This is where a real application would open the file.
            log.append("Opening: " + file.getName() + "." + newline);
        } else {
            log.append("Open command cancelled by user." + newline);
        }
