Sorry Ken, think I couldn't make myself clear. What I tried to say is if there was a chance in having VFP applications accessing SQL Server databases with its own (VFP) commands, like Select, Scan, Seek etc, instead of using ADO, SPT etc, and not the opposite.

And yes, I keep looking very frequently the Microsoft Visual FoxPro Home Page for news.

Generally when VFP is reviewed by the .NET teams, they get ideas on functionality but do not necessarily copy the commands as is, they will simply use it as a reference. There are no plans to put the VFP language into SQL Server like the .NET languages in Yukon is. There doesn't make much sense to do that since the benefits of the VFP language are the data-centric feature that are specific to the VFP data engine unique to the VFP.
