If you don't include a reference to a worksheet, then that formula will return
the name of the file/worksheet that is active when excel calculates.

It's usually better to use a formula like:
=cell("Filename",a1)
(a1 can be any cell)

in the cell you want to have the file name type

Is there a field or function in Excel that would insert a full path to
the
spreadsheet on the file system along with the name? For example:

\\ourserver\sharedfiles\some\directory\path\my-excel-spreadsheet.xls

You often get handed a printout of a spreadsheet, and it would really
be
nice if the printed version of the spreadsheet had a way to reference
its
own location so you could easily get back to it starting from the
printed
version.

In Page Setup I see a way in the header to insert &File to get the
filename
only, but that does not insert a full path.
