Simple?

If the forms application has any validation logic at all, or any triggers at all, or any transaction logic, it would all have to be rewritten -- major work, based on the forms apps I've seen over the last 20 years.

HTML DB is a great tool, but it's a different paradigm than Forms -- even if you're using really, really, simple Forms.
