MA,
There are a number of ways to do this. Two of which are:

1. Combine the queries within the backend
Structure the SQL statement passed to SQLExec so that the backend connects to both databases and combines the query for you. If you can connect to both, it stands to reason that one of the backend servers should be able to connect to the other given the correct connection information. In SQL Server, this could be a Linked Server. If using Oracle, you could create a synonym to the other database. The query would have the appropriate alias/database.owner.table included in the statement to access the various tables.

2. Combine the queries within VFP
Create cursors via two separate calls to SQLExec passing the appropriate connection handle. Then join those two result sets together using another SQL statement with a UNION clause.

HTH.
