I'm not sure what you mean by NOFILTER ...but does this help??

When SET FULLPATH is ON, DBF( ) returns the path to the table with the table name.
When SET FULLPATH is OFF, DBF( ) returns the drive on which the table resides with the table name

SET PATH and your windows environment settings might play a part in this too (where the temp files are created when doing INTO CURSOR.)
