Based on that, it sounds like something in your app itself. (This is VFP 5.0, right?) Two ideas:

a) You may be opening cursors and not closing them, such that subsequent requests keep opening more and more.

b) You may be opening connections to SQL Server and not closing them.

Maybe you could add a menu item to dump DISPLAY STATUS information (or run the app in development mode from VFP if possible).
