Programming "Cancel" button functionality for CommonDialog open
Mkay, currently I'm handling whether or not they press the cancel button with the following line of code:
If CommonDialog1.FileName <> "" Then
But, as it turns out, the commondialog will return the filename even if cancel is pressed. If I just let the thing open and then click cancel it works fine. If I click browse and then select a file and click cancel it'll open it anyway. I had figured if you canceled it wouldn't pass back the .filename.
How do I detect which button was pressed?

Setting the property CommonDialog1.CancelError = True means taht an error is generated ig the CancelButton is used.
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim strFile As String
On Error GoTo Command1_ClickError
CommonDialog1.CancelError = True
CommonDialog1.ShowOpen
strFile = CommonDialog1.FileName
Exit Sub
Command1_ClickError:
Debug.Print Err.Number
strFile = ""
End Sub
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim strFile As String
On Error GoTo Command1_ClickError
CommonDialog1.CancelError = True
CommonDialog1.ShowOpen
strFile = CommonDialog1.FileName
Exit Sub
Command1_ClickError:
Debug.Print Err.Number
strFile = ""
End Sub

Bah! beaten to it...
...I almost forgot, there is a system constant for 32755:
cdlCancel.
So check for Error.Number after the error is raised. If this it is cdlCancel, cancel has been pressed otherwise it is a "real" error...

but at my side I reset the Filename Property before I Show the Dialog
CommonDialog1.FileName=""
CommonDialog1.ShowOpen
this Works fine with me ..
