It can certainly read VFP data in a number of ways.
If you're calling an SSRS report from a .NET application fill the dataset with vfp data retrieved from an OLEDB provider.

For a standalone report use the VFP OLEDB provider.

I just created one and it ran fine.
Here's the connection string it created.
Provider=VFPOLEDB.1;Data Source=d:\\apps\\pro6\\testdata
As you can see, the data source points to the folder containing the VFP tables.
These are free tables.
If you have a .DBC, point to that.
Anyone who does not go overboard- deserves to.
