SQL Server doesn't know what you are doing inside of FoxPro so issuing a BEGIN TRANSACTION there has no effect. Try setting the Transactions property to 2 for manual transactions and executing your transactios using SPT.

=SQLEXEC(1,"Begin Transaction")
* do some updates
=SQLEXEC(1,"Begin Transaction")
* do some updates
=SQLEXEC(1,"Commit Transaction")
=SQLEXEC(1,"Commit Transaction")
