Yes, you can.
There is two different ways (at least for VFP7):
You can get and set the information from SQL DB via Remote Views or with SQL Pass-Through. Take a look in ALL functions that begins with SQL...(). All you need is an ODBC connection to SQL Server or a connection stored in your DBC.
If you update VFP to 8 or 9 you will have an additional way (the way i love) - CursorAdapters. Then connection can be ODBC or ADO.
