2. In the VBAProject pane, double-click ThisWorkbook.
3. At the top of the Module, open the left dropdown list (General) and select Workbook, then select the Activate event from the Procedure dropdown list on the right.
4. In the Activate macro, type the following code:
Application.Caption=ThisWorkbook.Path
5. To cancel the displaying of the path when activating or opening a different workbook, add the Deactivate macro by selecting Deactivate from the Procedure dropdown list.
6. In the Deactivate macro, type the code:
Application.Caption=" "
7. Copy and insert the two macros to each This Workbook module of any workbook for which you wish to display the path.
