Open will throw an error if Cancel is pressed and you can catch it with Try-catch.

Names Default To Here(1);

Try(
	dt = Open();
,
	show(exception_msg);
);

Do error handling in the catch part, example above will just print the message to log and lets script to continue running.

Thanks for your fast reply. What additional code must be added or changed after the open dialog is canceled (with no alert window) to stop the code from running the dialog window?

If( N Table() == 0,
	dt = Current Data Table();
	Clear Symbols( dt );
	Try( dt = Open() );
	If( Is Empty( dt ), throw());
