No. 16-bit fmx files will not run in a 32-bit runform, and neither will the 32-bit fmx run with 16-bit runform. The fmb files are compatible--both 16-bit and 32-bit versions of the Forms Designer will read each other's files. But each one generates a different fmx file, which must be run by the corresponding runform version.

I found all of this out trying to set up both 16-bit and 32-bit versions of my QA utility form.
