Vince, I do something similar, with code I compile and run on the fly, so I guess this approach will work with execscript as well.
Have the script call a program compiled into the exe, passing it a parm the program can interpert to mean "do form xyz". For example, a prg called 'runform' to launche a form would be called as: do runform WITH 'my_form' and let the compiled program run the command.
