Does anyone know how to get the file path to display in a custom footer in Excel 97?
I can get the file and sheet names, but can’t find anything for the path. Am I missing something obvious?

I recall Ruth C. helped me on this, so it’s my turn. You have to use a macro specifiying “&ActiveWorkbook.FullName”. Here’s a simple code sample and most of the parameters:
Sub SetHeadersFooters()
‘ Notes; insert ‘& Chr(10)’ to break a footer to a new line
‘ &T is time, &D is date, &A is tab (sheet name), &F is file
‘ &P is pages, &N is number of pages,
‘ &L Left aligns,&C Centers,&R Right aligns, characters that follow.
‘ &E turns double-underline printing on or off.
‘ &B turns bold, &I turns italic, printing on or off.
‘ &U turns underline printing on or off.
‘ &X turns superscript, &Y turns subscript, printing on or off.
‘ &P+number Prints the page number plus the specified number.
‘ &P-number Prints the page number minus the specified number.
‘ && Prints a single ampersand.
‘ &nn Prints the characters that follow in the specified font size.
‘ Use a two-digit number to specify a size in points.
‘
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.LeftFooter = “&06 &T on &D”
.CenterFooter = “&06 page &P of &N”
.RightFooter = “&06 &A in ” &ActiveWorkbook.FullName
End With
End Sub
