Yeah i remenbered.
EXECUTE FILE Filename, CommandLine, Directory
Where Filename is the name of the file you want to execute,
CommandLine is the data you want to pass through the file,
And Directory is where the file is located (Optional)

And this is the second syntax:
EXECUTE FILE Filename, String$, Path$, WaitForTerminationFlag
Where Filename is the name of the file you want to execute,
String$ is the data you want to pass through the file,
Path$ is where the file is located,
And WaitForTerminationFlag indicated whether you want to wait for the file to terminate before your DB program continues.

no, you would access the files as if they exist in the same directory as the final project. Executing another exe from within the final exe? I don't see how you could compile another program into your final project.
