Visio file address in Toolbar

Is it possible to display a Visio file's full path address in the Toolbars
area, similar to the way Excel's Web toolbar does? If yes, how?

Not possible as far as I know, but, yes, very nice idea, put the
file's full path+name in the Visio title bar.
I often work with two (or sometimes more) documents of the same name,
just in different folders. I can be so awkward telling one from the
other.

Ahem. I lie. I see a way to do this. I've tested it and it works. Not
in normal Visio operation or from macros though ...
More tomorrow ...

I don't believe that it is possible and I have tried. I understand that you
have edited the toolbar and used the web address field out of the Web toolbar
set to always display the actual location of a file. This is one of the most
useful tweaks to MS office I have ever come across. Unfortunately this was
not the primary reason MS put it there and they have acheived the web address
by other means. You will find that if you go to Office 2007 this tweak is
not available at all in any MS Office application.

Done it.
I've added this functionality to my utilities (in my sig below). It
puts the current full filename in the Visio title bar.
