Millenium (ME): Cannot modify CONFIG.SYS
Even if additional file handles are needed by an MS-DOS-based program, the FILES setting does not function. Instead of the FILES setting, the PerVMFiles setting is used. This setting increases the number of available file handles in each MS-DOS virtual machine (VM) and is implemented by adding the following line to the [386Enh] section of the System.ini file:
PerVMFiles=number
In Windows Me, each MS-DOS VM is given the default FILES value of 30 file handles. The maximum number of file handles a VM can have is 255. Because the total number of file handles cannot exceed 255, the maximum PerVMFiles setting is 225. This value, plus the 30 made available by default, equals the maximum total of 255. You must restart Windows Me for this change to take effect.

Not ATable

Experience:
Trying above solutions with table containing unicode characters >> NO SUCCESS
Simple solution:
Using hex editor, edit record-count info on file header to original value minus one.
To determine current record-count in the example above, type hex-value '1FE' on calculator then convert it to decimal.
Another solution (requires Windows 9x):
using Filefix (if you experience "illegal..." error, start Windows without GUI --> msdos.sys --> BootGUI=0)

VFP9: Install SP2 Final over its Beta
You CAN'T!
Neither SP2 CTP nor SP2 BETA have uninstallers. So, have in mind that you'll need to reinstall VFP9 when you want to update or go back to SP1 for any reason.
