macro to print full path name in footer

In Excel 2000, I am using following code to print the full path name current file in my Footer.

The macro works fine. I edit and/or create about 20 different spreadsheets each day and I want to use the same macro everytime without having to create the same code for every workbook.

Is there a way to do this so I can use over and over? Also, how can I add a button to my toolbar to use this code again and again with one click (if it is possible)?

Thanks in advance for any comments/help.

You need to put the macro into your personal macro workbook along with a shortcut (I selected CNTRL + SHFT + F).

Typically your personal macro book is hidden, so go to Window > Unhide and see if a hidden workbook exists. It has to be unhidden for you to work directly in it.

Then paste the code you have into a module except replace

Then while still in the personal workbook, go to Macros>macros>Options and enter your shortcut..
Then hide your personal workbook again and you can use the shortcut key whenever you want to add a footer to a workbook worksheet.

Does this work for you?

Ok. I finally figured it out. It only took me 45 minutes to figure out what I was doing. I got a little additional help from following link http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...872961033.aspx. Thanks for getting me started down the correct path.

One more question. I don't like using the CNTRL + SHFT + F for the macro (to hard to remember). Any suggestions as to how to place this macro on the tool bar would be great.

Thanks again.

View>Toolbars>Customize>Macros
Grab the custom button and drag it to your tool bar.
Right click on the button and "Assign Macro"
Close your customize window.
