Show full path title in title bar?

How do you show the complete path for a file in Excell" in the Title Bar?
e.g. C:\House\budget.xls instead of just budget.xls

AFAIK, it can't be done, but you can add an "Address" box to either the menu
bar or a tool bar, which, even though it's intended to facilitate web
travel, will show the full path to the *saved* WB.

Right click on the tool bar and choose"Customize".
<Commands> tab,
Scroll to and click on "Web" in the left window,
And the "Address" box is at the top of the right window.

Drag it to the menu or tool bar, where you can enlarge it to fill whatever
space you have to spare.

If you have "long" paths to display, you could simply insert the entire
"Web" toolbar,
<View> <ToolBars> <Web>
which contains this address box, and remove the Web tool icons, leaving this
address box on a toolbar all it's own.

You could use this in a new workbook (or add to your personal.xls file).

This goes under the ThisWorkbook module.

Option Explicit
Public WithEvents xlApp As Excel.Application
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Set xlApp = Application
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_Close()
Set xlApp = Nothing
End Sub
Private Sub xlApp_WindowActivate(ByVal Wb As Workbook, ByVal Wn As Window)
Wn.Caption = Wb.FullName
End Sub


If you save that workbook in your XLStart folder, then each time excel opens,
this workbook will open.


If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:
