Assuming that you have 16-bit control equivalents to the 32-bit versions,
you can open the 32-bit project from within the 16-bit
Visual Basic environment. Either way you will need to install the 16-bit version of
Visual Basic if you need to create a 16-bit executable. In addtion, you
will need to convert any 32-bit API function calls that you may be using to
their 16-bit versions, or use conditional compilation statements.
