We have been using Developer to create applications deployed to NT4.0 clients
and initially ran into the same issues. Our memory consumption is compounded
by the fact that the owner of our business is a graphics/multimedia freak who
insists that each form be loaded with graphics and OLE calls. The average user
has between 4 and 6 forms open. We found that we could minimize memory
consumption by altering the invocation syntax to use "call" instead of "open".
We also moved the majority of our triggers to the server and fire them there as
well as made use of SQL Optimization. Finally, when each form module is
completed, we use Administration and export the module to a file then re-import
it to binary. The version of Developer you are using tends to be notorious for
not fully releasing deleted canvases and objects. Doing the Export/import
re-aligns all structures and eliminates ghosting.
good luck!
