how to call a FoxPro stored procedure from T-SQL Script

Question

I'm Working on synchronizing two databases in order to migrate from a legacy FoxPro database to Sql Server.

i'm looking for a pure SQL solution, no third party component or application .

It looks like you can attach certain versions of Visual FoxPro using SQL Server's Linked Server feature. Here is a knowledge base article. After you attach it you should be able to get to the FoxPro SP by using an openquery. If you can't do it that way you will have to use the CLI to pull the data.
