This sounds like a place where you should really write a package. Then each of the notebooks can load the package with a Needs[packagefolder`packagename`] statement. You can check the documentation on packages if you don't know how to write one. Unfortunately, the documentation is somewhat disjointed and incomplete. The Presentations package comes with a sample 'toy' package that shows users the process for writing a package. It has a sample notebook that creates the package with quite a bit of commentary on how it works, how to name it, and where to put it. If you wish, I can send you the package notebook that could serve as a guide for turning your own routines into a package. It is basically quite simple. -- David Park djmpark at comcast.net http://home.comcast.net/~djmpark/ <pdingle at gmail.com> wrote in message news:gcq09i$c30$1 at smc.vnet.net... >I have a really trivial question, but nevertheless am stuck. > > Within a notebook file, how do I execute an external notebook and keep > all the results in memory? > > For example I have 5 files, > main1.nb > main2.nb > main3.nb > main4.nb > main5.nb > > each of which must call > common.nb > > which contains code that is common to all 5 main files. > > It seems like this should be easy to do but I cannot find an > appropriate command (Get seems like it is intended for this purpose, > but perhaps I am not using it correctly). >
