Mark, I haven't used a view into a 2.6 table but I do access 2.6 tables from VFP without problem. My gut sense is that the view will not create any problems.

When I use a 2.6 table in VFP, it stays a 2.6 table as long as I don't change the structure of the table in any way that 2.6 doesn't understand, e.g. null values, integer fields, etc. Memo fields must be the old 10 byte kind.

I think you know all this anyway. You should be fine.
