Hi all,

Relatively simple one I hope. Trying to insert a footer that automatically
updates to the name of the current worksheet. I've got &[Path] to show the
directory, &[File] to show the file name, but what would be the short way to
get the worksheet name in the footer? &[???]

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
With ActiveSheet
.PageSetup.LeftFooter = .Name
End With
End Sub

'This is workbook event code.
'To input this code, right click on the Excel icon on the worksheet
'(or next to the File menu if you maximise your workbooks),
'select View Code from the menu, and paste the code

Hi Bob,

Thanks for that, but unfortunately not exactly what I'm after - sorry,
should have been clearer!!

I've got a macro that inserts the path, worksheet, filename. However, I've
found that the problem with this is that once it's in, it doesn't update if I
save the book as a new book or update the worksheet name. I.e. it takes a
snapshot of what the file is and inserts it as a footer, but when I save to a
new month it doesn't update unless I run the macro again.

I have noticed though that the &[path] and &[File] methods do update when
saved as a new workbook so was hoping that there would be a similar way of
adding the worksheet name.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Mike
