Hi
The best you can do is to set IdleTimeout for connection.
After time specified, VFP disconnects from server and reconnects next time you make any updates on server. This also will reconnect server side intrerrupted connections, but only after time specified in IdleTimeout.

In VFP9 is even better, exists SQLIDLEDICONNECT() function , which can be used to reconnect a broken SQL connection (server restarts, network problems, server automatic connection interrupts, etc)
