Legacy VC++ application on Windows 7 / 10

52 Views Asked by At

Is it possible that an application that works fine in Windows XP wouldn't work at all in Windows 7 / 10? If not, what would be the steps to make it work?

I know the following about the application:

  • It is based on VC++
  • It uses DDE to communicate with MS Word (2000)
  • It uses ODBC32 for a db connection
