How about something like this (NOT TESTED AT ALL)

OPEN DATABASE YourDataBase
ADBOBJECTS(laViews, [VIEW])
USE YourForm.SCX
SET FILTER TO BaseClass == [Cursor] AND ASCAN(laViews,ALLTRIM(STREXTRACT(Properties,[CursorSource = "],["],1),1,-1,1,1) # 0

UPDATE CursorSource is part of Properties Field


Update AGAIN:
That worked here:

OPEN DATABASE Tables\InternalFiles
ADBOBJECTS(laViews, [VIEW])
USE Tte.SCX
SET FILTER TO UPPER(ALLTRIM(BaseClass)) == [CURSOR] AND ASCAN(laViews,ALLTRIM(STREXTRACT(Properties,[CursorSource = "],["],1)),1,-1,1,1) # 0
BROWSE NORMAL
