When you work in the Form Builder, you are creating binary files, and when you run an application, you are executing executable files. Forms stores its binary files with an .fmb extension and its executable files with an .fmx extension. The .fmx files are the compiled version of .fmb files. To run a form for testing or deployment, it must first be compiled into an .fmx file.
The .fmb files are platform-independent. They can be created on one platform and then edited or compiled on another. The .fmx files, on the other hand, are platform-dependent. An .fmx file
compiled on Windows NT cannot run on UNIX, and vice versa.
