    As José said you might have to go for a reimplementation. It is totally possible to upgrade to 2015 version, however then you have to upgrade several times during the process.

    Addition to that are several keywords, data types that are not been used in the latest versions.  Therefore even if you upgrade, it will required an effort similar to a reimplementation.

    I believe it is usable. Just not advised. You should consider moving to DotNet variables (.Net assemblies) instead. Same thing goes for Automation Datatype.

    You will have to write a new dotNET assembly and use the DLL instead of OCX.

    Do you have an idea on OCX datatype?

    is it workable in Nav 2013 and above?

    I don't think there is a "shortcut" if that's what you're asking. You will have to upgrade several times, version to version until you reach NAV2009 and then you can upgrade directly to NAV2015 skipping the versions in between for the most part.

    In those cases that are so far out of date sometimes instead of upgrading a reimplantation is advised. This way you get the chance to start fresh without doing the mistakes of the past :-)
