I am not sure what you mean by force execution. Do you mean a way to
make the chart reload the changes immediately? In that case yes, just
save the file you are editing while it is running in a chart, and AB
will start running with the changes right away. That is how I do all
my AFL edits now with NP++ or the AFL Formula editor. If there is a
problem, it shows up as a runtime error on the chart, and I can fix it
instantly.
BR,
Dennis
