How to change the Project Date Format
By blurg64
Recently a user asked on the forums about how to customise the date format of Project 2010 as it was not reflecting his localised regional settings by default.
Project comes with a large set of predefined date formats that can be used throughout the application and will do its best to match one of these to the settings you have in your locale, but it can’t match all of them.
However setting the date format manually couldn’t be simpler, to do so, choose File > Options > Date Format and select the format of the date you want to use, there are 21 different formats to choose from which should meet any of your customisation needs.
