Display Current File Name in MsgBox

It must be simple but I can't find how to display the
current filename in a message box, preceded by a piece of
text. eg. MsgBox

Cleared workbook has been saved as current filename.

The file has already been saved so the current filename is
available.

MsgBox Application.ActiveWorkbook.name gives the current
filename but I cannot find how to precede the name with a
meaningful message.

Many Thanks
Paul
 
never replied to a post before, so i hope i get this right: -

to include preceeding text, use concatenation, ie,

MsgBox "Some Text " & Application.ActiveWorkbook.name
 
dim title as string
dim msg as string

title = "File Loaded"
msg = "The following workbook is saved" & vbcr & vbcr
msg = msg & ActiveWorkbook.name

msgbox msg,,title
