MATLAB: How to call a different GUI through a push button

.m filesguiguide

Hey!
I'm hoping you guys can help me out with something.
First let me give an overview of my project: I have two separate GUIs, saved in two different folders, which one of them with their own functions and different purpose. While running GUI_1 (let's call it like that), the user can push a button and start GUI_2.
Now the problem: If, I do not run (F5) GUI_2 first, add it to the path of GUI_1, I get an error. Otherwise it works just fine!
The Error message:
Undefined function or variable 'Main_GUI_2'.
Error in Databsvs1>StartDataAnalysis_Callback (line 799)
Main_GUI_2;
Error in gui_mainfcn (line 96)
        feval(varargin{:});
Error in Databsvs1 (line 42)
    gui_mainfcn(gui_State, varargin{:});
Error in @(hObject,eventdata)Databsvs1('StartDataAnalysis_Callback',hObject,eventdata,guidata(hObject))
Error while evaluating uicontrol Callback
The question: How can I add the path 'automatically', once the user pushes the button to start GUI_2? Maybe it's important to refer, that both GUIs are not compiled yet (just .m files).
Thanks in advance!!!!

Since the second GUI is in another directory, use the function _run_to call the second GUI, adding the full path to the second GUI:
run('C\:......path_to_GUI.\GUI_name')
This way, the second GUI will open when call from wherever you call it.
