A question like this should not be “very urgent”.
Although some forms will not need major changes to be correctly converted to 10g, this is a process that should be analyzed and planned very carefully. And, asking this kind of question as “urgent” demonstrates that such planning has not taken place.
In general, all operations that the current forms perform on the client side (local filesystem access, etc) will need to be replaced by other functions/procedures with similar functionality. Some components like timers will need to be removed as well, which could mean that some applications could need to be restructured. Also, to provide adequate response times, some other changes could need to be done, for example database-intensive operations in when-validate triggers.
Again, if you want to do this the right way, research, analyze and plan this migration consciously.
