thank you all for responding so quickly.
I found what I was looking for in this function:

=MID(CELL("filename",A1), FIND("]", CELL("filename", A1))+ 1, 255)

I will also investigate the links you have all suggesed to me as well.

this group is awsome.

I have a 50 page workbook. I would like to create a macro to copy each
Worksheet name into each of their perspective A1 cells.

A1 in worksheet1 would display Worksheet1
A1 in worksheet2 would display Worksheet2

thank you
