This is just my frustration with FoxPro, but in the late 1990s when I worked at MS as a contractor in the FoxPro group I put in an Enhancement Request to have a new DateTime data type that included milliseconds.
I talked to Calvin H. about it and he told me and it is well known that the VFP DateTime data type takes 8 bytes and that it certainly could contain milliseconds.
A few years later I was working at a different shop and I needed to grab some data from SQL Server using VFP based on an exact DateTime value. Well, our SQL Server DBA was a real jerk and he was making a ton of money and I told him that VFP could easily pull this data. Anyway, because the VFP DateTime doesn't have milliseconds I failed miserably.
I immediately put in another ER to Microsoft, but sadly as we all know they never did anything about it.
