You might be able to use the Data Transformation Services (DTS) that comes with SQL Server 7 and 2000. You can select what you want imported from your VFP source and select where you want to put the information into your SQL Server target.

You will be using the VFP ODBC driver if using VFP 6, so it may be relatively slow. If using VFP 7, you can use the VFP OLDDB provider and the performance should increase.

HTH.
