If you built the exe/dll using the Office 97 libraries, then the code should
run, subject to odd bugs in Office, using later versions of Office.

If you built yje code with Office 97, then you need to test with all later
versions of Office.

There's always the chance thgat your custome rhas some app installed that
interferes.
No way to tell without running in the same environment.

I would not ask them to re-install Office.
Instead, write a simple example that tests the collection object in Word 97.
See if that works.
