I don't understand. I opened Explorer and VFP and in the command window I issued an ERASE command. When I clicked on the Explorer window the file disappeared from the list. I assume Explorer refresh the file list when the window became active and/or on a timer event. What do you expect? Explorer should refresh the file list every second? There is a refresh option in the view menu.
