Thanks everyone for all the ideas and advice, I will give them a try.

Effectively what I am trying to create is a way to replicate a VFP DBC to a SQL 
Database daily.

What incorrect answers these were.

IN the DB you made in SQL Server you can import the data at SSIS speed.

Rt click on the DB in the DB pane.  Tasks and Import Data.

it will make all tables and indexes from VFP and import it very fast.

Sorry I was driving when this was first posted.  You can Youtube SQL Server 
Import data and see a few different vids on how to do this.  The wizard has 
been around for decades and still does a great job of setting up what you need 
to do and allowing you to watch the process as it is cranking.

Your single row inserts will waste a lot of energy updating the log for each 
row you inserted.  This skips that altogether.
