A while back I posted about how you can change the format of dates in Project. The post showed how easily you could change the format of the dates within the main data entry window of Project. One of my readers pointed out that this was not reflected in the Gantt chart bat text automatically, as you can see below. Changing the format of these dates is just as simple as changing the other date formats.

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.
