insert file name

[Mark]

Hi,
Is there a way to program a cell to see and display the current name
of it's Excel file? Similar to the option displaying it in the header
or footer, I would like to display the file name in a cell of the
spreadsheet itself.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Mark

Sheet name>
=MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1),1)+1,255)

Full Address>

Careful, if you don't use a cell reference on the sheet this formula
will show the path/file/sheet you were on when you last recalculated.
Also, switching back to the sheet or printing will not automatically
recalculate.

Excellent point!
