    1. Hire a consultant that programs in Delphi.
    2. Have him debug it.
    3. Profit!

    Seriously though, it just sounds as though you made some changes to the
    backend, now you're getting errors, and what, you don't have the original
    source and/or development environment to debug these problems?

    If "Optimizing the back end" means changing versions (9i is rather recent
    methinks), then Rick Carter's answer sounds the most plausible, ie the
    system is is using the BDE SQL links drivers from 1995 that worked against
    8.0 or something (pure speculation that, actual versions may vary!) and the
    more recent version broke it.. Try searching Tamaracka for BDE, Oracle 9i,
    etc.. If it takes many minutes of operation before a problem arises, I'd
    doubt that it is a connectivity issue.

    Installing the development environment on a machine known to be experiencing
    the problems, then compiling with debug dcus and hitting run would most
    likely give immediate satisfaction.. Or installing MadExcept as suggested
    would also most likely point the way..

    We have an application with a 25 meg executable running BDE against Sybase
    ASA, and going from 98 to XP caused ZERO problems..

    Hope this helps,
    Rob
