Project description:
"I have a mature C++ application that was built in Visual Studio 6.0 using MFC and it talks to a MySQL database through the standard ODBC driver. The goal is simple: open the existing source in Visual Studio 2022, resolve every compatibility issue, and hand back a solution that compiles cleanly and behaves exactly as it does today—no UI refreshes, feature tweaks, or performance tuning, just a straight port.

All legacy functionality must remain untouched: every dialog, menu command, and ODBC call should execute identically against the current database. Please stay with MFC; no migration to ATL, .NET wrappers, or third-party frameworks.

Deliverables
• A VS 2022 project with updated project files, ready to build in Release and Debug.
• Any adjusted source or resource files, clearly commented where changes were necessary.
• A brief migration report noting compiler settings, deprecated API replacements (if any), and steps taken to confirm the MySQL ODBC connection still works.

Acceptance criteria
If I can clone the repo, open the solution in Visual Studio 2022, build without warnings or errors, and run the executable against my existing database with identical results to the VS6 build, the job is complete." (client-provided description)
