How to force read of a DBF?

I have a dbf in concurent use.

This is, a record is changed.
I try to TABLEUPDATE, this fails due to a field changed. This is intended.
If I set the field wo the right value TABLEUPDATE still fails. A SELECT will bring right result.

The only way to force right result right now is to close the dbf and let TABLEUPDATE reopen it.

Any idea aside USE IN SELECT(cALIAS) to force the dbf to refresh?

Thanks
