We have a similar situation...........
One of our projects started off first with forms 3.0.
Now we have a system that has both forms 3.0 and forms 4.5.
We would like to move all 3.0 forms to 4.5 but the restriction of course
is cost and the customer paying for it.
The few 3.0 forms that we have ported was quite easy to do.
To convert 3.0 into a functional but dirty 4.5 is simply to run the migrator.
Usually what comes out is usually immediately usable.
Its from then that could take some development time to acheive a true GUI form.
