In summary, Mathematica is a computational software program used for data analysis, visualization, and advanced computations in scientific, engineering, and mathematical fields. NotebookEvaluate inside CreateDialog allows for the evaluation of a notebook within a dialog box, enabling the creation of interactive interfaces and dynamic content. It can also be used in custom functions to create interactive elements and perform calculations, including the creation of interactive graphs. Some advantages of using NotebookEvaluate inside CreateDialog in Mathematica include the ability to create dynamic and interactive elements, streamline the coding process, and evaluate notebooks without opening them.

The following creates a button window to select a notebook to run. When a button is pressed Mathematica finds the notebook but cannot evaluate it. The following error occurs
Could not process unknown packet "1"
Code:
CreateDialog[
  DialogNotebook[{Column[{TextCell[
       Row[{Style["I would like to ...", FontWeight -> Bold]}], 
       "Text"], 
      Row[{Button["run 1", 
         NotebookEvaluate[
          "/../file1.nb"]],
        Button["run 2", 
         NotebookEvaluate[
          "/../file2.nb"]],
        Button["run 3", 
         NotebookEvaluate[
          "/../file3.nb"]]}], Button["Done", DialogReturn[]]}]}]];
This occurs under Mathematica 8 on all platforms.

Any help greatly appreciated,
Christina
