Hi, You must open the *Frontend* to read the notebook. Or you create a Mathematica package for the kernel, than *your* program has to act as a FrontEnd for the kernel. You can compile your functions tha launch the kernel or the frontend into a DLL and it is up to you to add an OLE interface to your DLL's and programs.
