Say you have a memo field memexe in your table:

append memo memexe from "whatever.exe" overwrite

later, you may just simply

copy memo memexe to "whatever.exe"

and yes, it _will_ be on your hard drive, but you may delete it anytime when it's not running, and copy it back when needed. I'm not sure if this solves your problem, because it doesn't _run_ the exe out of the table, it just copies it from it.
