"FoxPro versus SQL Server".

Microsoft's recommendation is #1:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/pr...q/default.aspx ("FoxPro is a
developer tool, SQL Server is a database engine").

You might also try Googling "Migrating FoxPro to SQL Server", "FoxPro SQL
Server Security", etc. Here's another link about "Building VFP Apps for SQL
Server": http://www.informit.com/articles/art...?p=174330&rl=1

I'm no VFP developer, but apparently the two don't have to be mutually
exclusive. In fact MS seems to recommend using SQL Server as a back-end for
VFP, because SQL Server provides "security, reliability, replication, and
many other features of a full relational database engine" while VFP "does
not have many of those features."
