Thank you!
Works like a breeze :)
The setup is like this (on Solaris / CF 4.51):
MERANT dBase/FoxPro Driver:
Fill out the fields Datasourcename and Databasedirectory
Databasedirectory is only the directory part that is common for all
directories, for example "db"
Then the table is called like this:
<CFQUERY name="GetRecord" dataSource="userdb" maxRows=1>
SELECT *
FROM /www/docs/home/#session.username#/db/EMPLOYEES.DBF
WHERE EMPLOYEEID = #Variables.RecordID#
</CFQUERY>

Yes, just give the full path to the dbf file in your query.

Set up a dbase datasource called dbfds (or something). Set it up to a
default directory (the driver only checks that the directory exists - you
don't even need any dbase files in it).
Then set up your queries like:
<cfquery name="testdata" datasource="dbfds">
select something from c:\dbasefiles\client1\test.dbf
</cfquery>
