Is there an easy way to grab the working directory of a workbook?

I have two workbooks that read and write some of their data to a third shared workbook.

If the Share folder that they all live in gets changed their references to one another break.

So I'm trying to workout if I can easy set their working directory to a variable and then just use that variable throughout the workbooks.

thanks

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Try

Code:
Sub directry()
Dim MyPath As String
MyPath = ThisWorkbook.Path
MsgBox MyPath
End Sub
