It might be possible, but because I am not involved in that process, I have no clue what they really do and what they already have checked @CWins

@squirvel it was barely running under windows 7 (some really strange workarounds were needed, e.g. select item in list and then open submenu, otherwise if you tried to change the list item in the sub menu per drop down the whole program crashed). and tests with windows 10 have proven that at least the frontend is no longer be able to run. and we need 64 bit windows due to better memory performance. I think they have installed NTDVM as well, but no luck there either.

what people think when I say I program in COBOL..
We are so fucked up at our company:
While the support for our client hardware is running out, our operation departement has just found out that Windows 7 is no longer supported on new HW. Well, that for itself is not bad, but we have a really old tool for reporting our daily work. And because that mo*fu*ing piece of customized software still runs in 16bit mode, it will not run on Win 10 anymore.
Alternative solutions are too expensive, so I see that we will have to port that crap somehow from 1997 to 2017 ourself 😲 Replacing is not an option because there are a ton of Excel sheets connected to the database, even the company balance is made with that data (and also in Excel). At least it is our CEO which has built that crap. So he has to pay for his twenty year old sins!
