>>>In a Web environment, I have 4 VFP servers running to process the incoming requests. I have found that occasionnaly, one save by a VFP server is not reflected immediately on another VFP server. What I mean by that is that it may takes up to two seconds before the other servers can read the updated data from the tables.

All Vlad sugestions work on VFP level but if delay is reletaded to OS than they wouldn't help.
Small correction, after RLOCK(myalias,0) you should immediatelly do UNLOCK.
