how to insert the path and filename into cell in excel 2002

Copied from Bob Phillips' site........note: leave the "filename" as is. Do not
substitute your file name.

File path, file and worksheet name:
=CELL("filename",A1)

File path only:
=LEFT(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("[",CELL("filename",A1),1)-1)

File name only:
=MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("[",CELL("filename",A1),1)+1,FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1),1)-FIND("[",CELL("filename",A1),1)-1)

The sheet name:
=MID(CELL("Filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("Filename",A1))+1,255)

Restrictions
This technique only works for workbooks that have been saved, at least once.
