Hello,

I need to be able to retrieve the directory of the excel file which is
currently active.

"CurDir" does not work, because if excel is set to "C:\My Documents"
as the standard folder it always outputs this folder, although the
document is actually in "C:\WINDOWS\Desktop".

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks,
Joepy

Try this Joepy

Sub test()
MsgBox ActiveWorkbook.Path
End Sub
