returning filename in excel
 

In MS Word I used:
With Dialogs(wdDialogFileOpen)
If .Display Then
strSourceFile = WordBasic.FilenameInfo$(.Name, 1)
End If
End With

to obtain the filename of the active document. How can I do this in
Excel?

Claud

To get the filename of the activeworkbook, use

sFileName=ActiveWorkbook.FullName

If you want to display the open dialog and then open a workbook

sFilename=Application.GetOpenFileName()
Workbooks.Open FileName:=sFileName

One way:

strSourceFile = ActiveWorkbook.Name

or, if you want the path, too

strSourceFile = ActiveWorkbook.FullName
