evalin() problem - won't run workspace m-file from within a GUI callback

Folks,

I'm puzzled by this problem: when I use the command

evalin('base','file_name');

to run "file_name.m" from within the "OK button" ButtonDownFcn callback of a GUI, nothing happens! The interesting part of the story is that I can do exactly that in other GUI's I already have. By the way, all of these files are in the same folder. Any ideas?

Thanks.

PS: I have Matlab 7 (R14).

Problem resolved. I forgot to do the same in the actual button callback, so obviously the evalin line would only happen in a "ButtonDown" event. I'm sorry, my bad.
