I just noticed these 2 commands are very similar, does anyone know the difference between them?

Also, is there a way to switch between 2 running DBP programs from within the apps themselves without using ALT+TAB or the windows taskbar?

Thanks!

With execute file you can open a file such as a txt or html file and it will bring it up in notepad or your internet browser. Execute executable will open an application and return its handle. You can call the Windows API function SetActiveWindow() with this handle to switch between DBPro apps.
