Im just wondering if there is a way for DBPro's EXEs to "talk" to each other in a way other then writing to file or clipboard.

Also, can DBPro make an exe that takes in date before actual execution.
Ex. You go to command prompt and type "start myprog.exe 25" and make the program do smth w/ the "25". Kind of like a user-defined function?

Sorry but I got one more question

Is there a way to make DBPro EXEs to return a string so when I use command prompt and run my program it returns a string that is printed in the cmd.exe window?

Thnx in advance

I don't think so but why? If you explain why it needs to put a string there we may be able to help more.

That wont work between executables - you need a global memory allocation.
