This will give you the pathname to your notebook, provided it has been saved somewhere before! pathName = DirectoryName[ToFileName[ "FileName" /. NotebookInformation[SelectedNotebook[]]]] Hope this helps, **************************************** Jean-Marie THOMAS mailto:jmthomas at agat.net Conseil et Audit en Ingenierie de Calcul Strasbourg, France http://www.agat.net **************************************** -----Original Message----- From: Nicolas B.E.

When I try (V3.0 on a PC) NotebookInformation[SelectedNotebook[]] all I get is Out[6]= {MemoryModificationTime -> 1615015} The whole line gives nothing at all. Allan Hayes wrote: > > >2.
