As Works has no programming API your question is not in the right place on MSDN. These forums are for people with questions about how to write code.
The "Answers" forums are the better place for you to get quick and knowledgeable help. For example:

Hi Howie3,
>> Currently because of windows 10 errors works seems to be useless !
What do you mean with “windows 10 errors”? Could you share us more information about this like error message, and when you got this errors?
>> If I get Office will I be able to convert those forms from Works to Office so that I can still use the data that I have saved over the past 25 years
It seems you want to move from Microsoft Works to Microsoft Office, I suggest you refer the link below:
