if the file has been saved you can extract the path from the file name .I
paste this name into a couple of cells and manipulate it and use it in the path,because different people save this file in different places.My main macro calls this first Sub printpath() Dim myfull As String myfull = ActiveWorkbook.FullName Range("fullr").Formula = myfull -- paul remove nospam for email addy! "seisman" wrote: The way I do this type of thing is to save the filename and path in the Registry. VB has a special area in the registry at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings" and the SaveSetting method and GetSetting function will put a string into a key at this location and read from it. SaveSetting is used something like: SaveSetting "Application title", "My Key Name", "My Data Value Name", MyString and GetSetting is used like MyString = GetSetting "Application title", "My Key Name", "My Data Value Name" Hope this helps.
