>>>Hi,
>>>
>>>A customer (DBA) is asking me what components of SQL Server he has to install for my VFP application. I really don't know the answer but do not want to appear too newbie. I know that before (with other customers) I never asked for anything "special" and all worked fine. What kind of "professional" answer I can give him? TIA.

If your application is not using them, then you need to tell your customer you need SQL Server Database Engine and everything else is optional.
