I have turned this off so that hopefully, when the user re-opens the form they have worked on, it forces VFP to re-read the table.

If you're not doing it already, it's a good idea to apply the registry changes outlined at
http://www.alaska-software.com/community/smb2.cxp to every workstation that accesses VFP data tables.
I see you list "VMWare" in "Virtual environment" in the message header. Is the server storing the VFP data tables virtualized, clustered or anything else unusual? Is it a true Windows server, a NAS, or ?
Are the Windows computers running your app actual physical computers, sessions on a Remote Desktop or other VDI backend, or anything else?
You've also titled this thread "Data Lag". What does that mean - does freshly input data eventually show up after some period of time, or does it never show up unless you perform drastic actions to force a re-read of the data?
