Try issuing an FLOCK(), then UNLOCK in the reading application. Or, if you just want to update the data in an existing record you can use RLOCK().

From the command window, I can even change the cursorsetprop to "Buffering", 5 (or some other "Buffering" state), then set it back to "Buffering", 1 -- and have the reading app get the appropriate data. In code, this does not work without substantial pauses between setting the two states.
