Thought of two other things while reading the other responses here:
1) Date vs. datetime field types: SQL Server only supports datetime fields. If you try to do a query for a specific date-only value, you'll need to do a greater than/less than comparison.
2) Set access vs. row access: if you have Oracle experience you probably know about this one, but here goes. VFP natively allows access down to individual row levels within a table. SQL Server, on the other hand, works with sets of rows, usually the results of a select statement. You can navigate thru a result set in VFP thru SKIP, SCAN/ENDSCAN, etc., but there is now equivelant in SQL Server. To do this you have to load a result set into a cursor, and walk thru the cursor. The syntax for that can be kinda ugly but it is covered by the Books Online.
