One of the big pluses of EXECUTE METHOD is working around does this exist? If the component is present run this method if it isn't don't try.
And of course, it completely hides the need for a component from 4D. This can be very useful. On a number of occasions I've tried to open a structure and it says NO - you need the component, that's it. End of story. Can't open in interpreted mode even because the component is missing. The specific circumstance this occurs is if Comp A needs Comp B but when launching Host Comp B is not present. To get around that particular problem, remove Comp A from Host so it doesn't check Comp A's requirements.
