Hi Bill!

Excel 2002 (XP)


This is built into Excel 2002.



Put the following in the footer:
&[Path]&[File]

Excel 97 and Excel 2000


You need a macro (or just type the full name in):



This subroutine which must be put in ThisWorkbook module puts the path
and workbook name in the footer.



Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)

ActiveSheet.PageSetup.LeftFooter = ActiveWorkbook.FullName

End Sub





For any workbook you can put the following code in the ThisWorkbook
module in the workbook that you want to print out:



Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
Dim wkSht As Worksheet
For Each wkSht In ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets
wkSht.PageSetup.LeftFooter = ActiveWorkbook.FullName
Next wkSht
End Sub

You can substitute CenterFooter or RightFooter for LeftFooter.
