I have just finished a migration from 16 to 32 bit forms, and also didn't have too many significant problems.

There were a few little things that you might want to check though. For instance, some of the canvases were resized (smaller or larger) with respect to what they used to be. Also, fonts can be a hassle, if you have used several. In my case, the application messages and screens must all be in Russian, necessitating the use of several different fonts. Some of these got a little messed up. These things should all be caught if you perform a quick visual check once all your forms are regenerated.

One more thing that didn't happen on all of my forms, but a few. I found that the libraries had to be removed and then re-attached before the forms would generate properly.

My only complaint is about the amount of memory these runforms and designers take. It really is obscene. I have 24 Mb on my workstation and regularly run out.

Good luck.
