SYSDATE - Time slow to update?

I am using SYSDATE like:

         TO_CHAR ( SYSDATE, ''Month DD, YYYY HH:MM AM')

to format a date/time string. The time doesn't update as it should. The time may be over an hour old at times.

We are using Forms 4.5. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the time Forms was loaded, exiting all Oracle applications on the workstation (Win95) and re-loading them doesn't always change the date. The server is on NT 3.51.

Anybody seen anything like this?? Any ideas??

TIA
