_Application::ThisWorkbook property

Returns a Workbook object that represents the workbook where the current macro code is running.

Namespace:  Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
Assembly:  Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel (in Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.dll)

No code example is currently available or this language may not be supported.

Use this property to refer to the workbook that contains your macro code. ThisWorkbook is the only way to refer to an add-in workbook from inside the add-in itself. The ActiveWorkbook property doesn't return the add-in workbook; it returns the workbook that's calling the add-in. The Workbooks property may fail, because the workbook name probably changed when you created the add-in. ThisWorkbook always returns the workbook in which the code is running.

This property can be used only from inside Excel. You cannot use it to access a workbook from any other application.
