why not just use thisworkbook.path whenever you need it, instead of putting
in a variable. But if you must:
put this at the top of a normal module not a worksheet or thisworkbook:

public filepath as string

then set it wherever you like, e.g. in workbook_open and/or
workbook_beforesave

Using "filepath = Application.ThisWorkbook.Path" as a statement in a
commandbutton gets me the data I need. Is there any way to put this
statement somewhere so that the data is available in every commandbutton
in
the workbook? So I could just use "filepath" everywhere without having to
declare it in every button?\

Using "Public filepath as text" in each worksheet works, but I still have
to
make the "filepath=application..." statement in a worksheet.activate
section
in every worksheet. I tried putting it in the Workbook declarations
section
without success. Any suggestions?

thanks
