Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, the creation of the package doesn't help either. I use Mathematica 5...and I have tried using DumpSolve, Put/Get files, etc...the problem is that the notebook that I "call" has complex functions, including IF statements, Loops, etc...and the package (m.) doesn't seem to be able to generate correct IF statements. What I needed is the ability to call up on named notebook (file/package/whatever) that can do this full calculations (including the necessary logistics) then immeditately give me the solution to apply immeditately. The NotebookGet/EvaluateSelected only works if I complete the sequence and then manually type in request for the solution...for instance if I type "Print["Y equals to", y] manually after I completed the call evaluation cell, the results are correct. I need it to be automatic.
