As the others have said, there's no problem opening, querying, or even modifying 2.x tables in VFP. Now by modifying, I mean adding or changing the values in the records.

In fact, you can even PACK and ZAP them. However, because these commands expect to see a code page in the header, use SET CPDIALOG OFF before trying to use them exclusively. Otherwise, users will have to deal with the dialog that will appear.
