NEED VERY BASIC HELP

At my workplace our ERP software in on a VFP database. I have learned quite
a bit about extracting data with the select statements from the VFP
database. We are in the talks of converting the the SQL version of our ERP
and I have some very basic questions since I am extremely new to the SQL
world.
I have created executable forms in VFP that queries the VFP tables for
certain users. Can I continue to use these forms or do I need to go to
another software. Is my understanding correct that SQL cannot create forms
like the VFP does? If I can use the VFP interface what is the Select syntax
to access the SQL database from within the VFP interface?
The VFP looks like this: Select 'field names' from 'database name'!'table
name'
What would the SQL look like? I can use the Query Analyzer to do Select
statements but I would like to be able to query the SQL database from within
the VFP interface. Thanks for your help.Please see my comments to your other posts.
