The easiest way to do this is by using the Forms 4.5 generator.
From the command line, run the following:

f45gen MYFORM.INP USERNAME/PASSWORD@DATABASE upgrade=YES
module_type=FORM version=30

The form will be converted into Forms 4.5 format (both .fmb and .fmx
files are created).  The only other issues are whether or not you have
menu modules you need to conver (which is a little more involved) or
custom resource files (terminal files with custom keymaps, etc) which
WILL NOT work with Forms 4.5 runtime.

Hope this helps.

-Robert
