Overriding ODBC file lock on free table

I have a VFP application that pulls data from our ERP system and writes it to a set of free tables. These free tables are accessed from label printing stations via ODBC connections.

Here's the problem: When I want to update the info in the free tables I get an "access is denied" error because the Label software is always running, locking up the files.

Is there a way to release or override file locking? Is there another method within VFP that is better?
