INSERT command cannot be used to update/add data to VFP general field. As in your VFP code above, you need to use > APPEND GENERAL > statement instead.

Other than that, what do you mean exactly, "VFP ODBC connector"? If ODBC, then I am not sure whether it supports general fields.
I would recommend to use VFP OLEDB instead.
