Hi Mark,
No VFP does not open the view again because that would entail making another trip to the remote server (which isn't done). It does internally what Hector posted you should try externally. It uses the disk presence (the temporary file created when you opened the view) and opens that again in another workarea under a new alias. It then queries that version for you.

Glad to see you found another way. :-)
