What is your current code for entering it into excel?
Are you using an embedded spread sheet or one open in a separate session of
excel?

I opened the standard bom template in excel (separate), and the I'm adding
colums whit the info that I need. I have not delete any of the original
colums, just hidden a few.

Sorry I kind of misread your post

Try this.
add a column named File
If you want you could name it "File Name" but you have to name the cell
title "File" so that SW can use it properly because you cannot have spaces.
Add a custom property to each model called
"File"
make it's value
$PRP:"SW-File Name"
then generate a bom with your new template and you will have a collumn with
all the file names.

Regards,
Corey

Great, I'll try that.

You wouldn't happen to know how to get the file name extension in there as
well?

You have to set it in windows explorer.
I believe the setting that is labeled something like
Hide file extentions of known types. turn it off.

I know what you meant, and now that I think about it SW may strip that
information. I think what I was thinking was that this method works through
API. When set in windows it grabs the file extention. You could just add
it after the property value.

$PRP:"SW-File Name".sldprt
$PRP:"SW-File Name".sldasm
$PRP:"SW-File Name".slddrw

It shouldn't be too hard and really easy for new parts just setup your
templates with this already assigned.

A macro would take care of that.
