executing this line:
Result=Application.Dialogs(xlDialogOpen).Show

returns True if a file has been opened, and FALSE if the user presses Cancel.

Hello there,

I have read many instances of how to use the Open dialog on many
different sites and haven't found a way to capture the 'cancel' button
when there is a file already selected.

Here is the code that I am using:
FilePathAndName= Range("BY35").Value
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogOpen).Show FilePathAndName

I know that there is another way to get the open dialog box using the
following code:
FileName = Application.GetOpenFilename

Even this has problems handling the 'cancel' button when a file was
selected.

Can anyone help?
