Dear Peter,

I tried to follow your suggestion below to bring an ".m" file into a
notebook and run it using the data within the current notebook.

I set the current directory to where my data, nb and .m files are. 
SetDirectory["directory where ".nb" and ".m" files saved"] 

I call "CommonProgram.m" into the notebook (nb) by Get["CommonProgram`"].
The notebook already has data in it.

I just want to run "CommonProgram.m" to get results using the data in the
".nb". No error message comes out but neither the results.

What is wrong here?

Thanks.

change all input cells in common.nb to initialisation cells, save common.nb
and chose in the appearing box to create an autosave package. this will
generate a file common.m in the same folder as the common.nb is located in.
Then you can use <<"/path/to/common" in your main[1-5].nb (of course you
have
to replace the "/path/to" part by the actual path to your common file).
