Sorry to intrude here, but this is somewhat related. I have the following
formula to place the file name in a cell.

=MID(CELL("filename"),SEARCH("[",CELL("filename"))+1,
SEARCH("]",CELL("filename"))-SEARCH("[",CELL("filename"))-1)

Is there a switch so that the file extension is not shown in the cell?

Thanks,
Dave C.

A simple workaround
Put that formula in some out of the way cell (IV1) of Sheet3
In Sheet1 B3 enter =Sheet3!IV1
Remember the CELL function need the file to have saved at least once

The following formula works great if you want the cell name to be the
current
sheet.

=MID(CELL("filename",a1),SEARCH("]",CELL("filename",a1))+1,1024)

Is there a way to reference a different sheet? For example is there a way
for Sheet 1 Cell B3 to show the name of Sheet 3?

Thanks for you help
