Your results will tell you whether this is a view definition problem, a buffering problem, or a code problem.

Ok. Next round of tests... If you close VFP session B, reopen it, and REQUERY(),does the data show up? What about if you TABLEUPDATE from A, and close session A? IOW, does the view update ever work? This will determine if it is a view definition, or a network buffering problem...
