THere is *ALWAYS* a possibilitiy that you can be hacked.
with vfp - you should do some encrypting/branding of your code; a guy named
Leonid has made a pretty good tool that he has indicated might be freeware when
he releases.

Anyway -- the code can be dcompiled & someone can see your connection string.
someone can packet sniff & watch teh data going back & forth.
There are exploits for sql2000 to gain access

If your firewall is up to date, and by "outsider" you mean not on your local
network; the chances are probably fairly low.
