With version 6 and later, if the notebook has been saved,
NotebookDirector[] will return the directory for the notebook file.

For version 5.x the following function will do what you want
again assuming the notebook has been saved.

NotebookDirectory[]:=
     DirectoryName@ToFileName["FileName"/.NotebookInformation@EvaluationNot=
ebook[]]];
