Assuming you are using tables and not views, you can use the SET REFRESH command to control how often VFP refreshes the local cache. The only other way to force VFP to refresh the local cache is to lock a record (which is what happens when you perform the TABLEUPDATE() in a optimistic buffering scenario).
If you are using local views then the data is only refreshed as often as a REQUERY() is performed on the view.
