I'm not aware of such tool, but
can imagine following migration path using DESIGNER/2000:

  • reverse engineer DB-Shema into des2k repository
  • upgrade forms3 modules to forms45 using standard upgrade features of forms45 ( f45gen utility )
  • reverse engineer upgraded forms45 modules into des2k repository ( there is currently not possible 100 % reverse engineer forms modules into repository, specially the logic in trigger )
  • redesign DB and/or modules when necessary
  • use VB-Generator of des2k and generate VB-Modules
  • use VB-Workbench and Add missed logic in VB-Modules manually.
