Can some body please advise if full unit testing is required on both FMB (Character) and FMX (GUI) form. We have a system where users mix and match between GUI and Character mode.

Many thanks

FMB: Forms Module Binary, an uncompiled Forms Module.
FMX: Forms Module eXecutable, a compiled Forms Module.

Correct me if I am wrong..

FMX files are used/required if you will be running the form via Windows and in GUI

FMB files are used if say you are running in Character mode on a Unix platform. IE Non GUI mode

So if our testing team fully tests the Character mode version should the same full testing occur for the GUI version ?

No, only the FMX is ever run. You either build and generate in character mode or you build and generate in GUI mode.

Please correct me, but I believe that a FMX for a particular form in a particular directory can be only character or GUI, it can't be both at the same time.
