I would like to place the spreadsheet file name in a cell and have it update automatically as I rename the spreadsheet. Is there an Excel 97 function that does this? If not how do I do it?

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
If you use MoreFunc:

=FILENAME()

if not:

=MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("[",CELL("filename",A1))+1,FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))-FIND("[",CELL("filename",A1))-1)

Hi mechanic,
In your ThisWorkbook module, enter this:

Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
[A1].Value = Me.Name
End Sub

This assumes you want the file's name to be in cell A1. (Change to suit.)

Hope this helps,
