Launch/Unpack App from Package?

[Snaux]

I was playing around yesterday and noticed that it's possible to store
..exe files in fields as packages. To my surprise I found that by
double-clicking them, they would run. Since my current project uses a
number of shell-executed apps (and since my target audience has an
annoying tendency to play with things they shouldn't) this got me
thinking:

1) Since small packaged exe's will run if I double-click them, how do I
run them via VBA code?

2) Is there a way to unpackage them back into standalone exe files?

Thanks for the help... twice.

I posted the first time via Google Groups, during their maintennance
period. Groups has no record of my original post, and no record of your
response... serves me right for not using Usenet normally!
