Based on various responses that I got to my question "FileNameSetter button 
return state" on this newsgroup on 16th December 2007, here is a code 
fragment that I wrote which does what you want:

filename = "*.*";

Button["Load...",
 If[# =!= $Canceled, filename = #;] &[
  SystemDialogInput["FileOpen", filename, WindowTitle -> "Load..."]],
 Method -> "Queued"]
