It's good you say that; to my ears, at least, it
makes a different impression than your first post
which focused on Access and VBA.  The answer is,
I think, "Yes", even more so.  You're working 
against an SQL Server instance?  Not only can you
reasonably develop a GUI for that using Zope, you
are free to choose to host Zope on the same machine
as handles SQL Server, or a different one.

You should expect to be successful at reusing your
current work, while enhancing the portability of
the front end.
