>So you are passing to fullpath(), the relative path from the dbc to the customer table and as a 2nd parameter the path and tablename of the currently selected open table. The return from fullpath should be the path to customer.dbf from the currently selected dbf (as if pointing to it from the dbc customer resides in).

FULLPATH( ) returns the path for the first file relative to the second file. (from Help)

Yes, it helps. As it confirms my understanding. However, the example in Hacker's Guide that you quoted above determines full path to a table in a database. My example that I posted in the initial message is using to get the property DisplayClassLibrary. And the value of FULLPATH() when getting the DisplayClassLibrary does not change no matter what is the location of the database.
I am probably confusing you now as I need to create a step-by-step scenario to show the issue.
Thank you for your help.
