I prefer to handle opening and closing datafiles with a file handling object, created from a custom class. That way I can always control what is opened and closed. If you are using the DE, you could change the cursorsource and database property of each cursor in the BeforeOpenTables of the DataEnvirnment to the desired path. Then the file you want should get opened. Fox will always look for the tables and database in the paths in the DE before looking along your SET PATH.
