Lou,
NotebookOpen["file path"];
will open your notebook,just like double clicking it (this is still related
to the file and any changes to it that are saved will be reflected in the
file)
NotebookPut[Get["file path"]];
will open a copy of your notebook (changes to this will not affect the
original)
Get will give the notebooks unformatted notebook expression (this
independent of the file and any changes to it that are saved will not affect
the file)
