I also battle with the ExecuteFile function.
It worked perfectly previously, but some time during the latest updates, it doesn't execute a txt file containing 4 well formed sql statements (create table followed by 3 inserts).
The file exists and contains 364bytes using taifunfile's Exists fileordirectory function and Length functions.
Any ideas what may be causing the issue?
It would really help if you provided a screenshot of your relevant blocks, so we can see what you are trying to do, and where the problem may be.
To get an image of your blocks, right click in the Blocks Editor and select "Download Blocks as Image". You might want to use an image editor to crop etc. if required. Then post it here in the community.
