A custom built database (paradox/delphi) program runs on an NT workstation accessing data held on a network server (running NTserver). The machines are not particularly fast but have no problems accessing server data with other applications (eg.Sage). Basically the client machine accesses data pretty quick when the application starts, then slows to a snails pace soon after. Closing the database application reinvigorates the program and data, once again, is quickly accessed.
Has anybody got ideas on why this happens and, more importantly, how I can improve the situation without spending money on better spec machines?
