Default Identify the network path a file was opened from (Excel2007)

Not sure if I am using the correct keywords/tricky phrases here but...
I have a workbook placed on our network that contains a macro other can use
create a standard report. I want to write into the code, a way to confirm
that they are using the network file (most current) and not a copy they
placed on their CPU. I have tried the whole path, GetDrive, etc. methods but
it only gives me the "mapped name" (ex1: "T:\") and not the actual network
path information (ex2: "\\usatx\stdrpts\E&Ocalc\"). Hope this makes sense,
any ideas how to get to this level of information in example 2 or other
method to confirm they are using the correct file?
