Hi F,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :-)

You nees to re-set the International settings in the Windows Control Panel -
Regional and Language dialog. That's the only way I know of that will
change the dates format to the US style.

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at
this web address: <http://www.mvps.org/project/>

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :-))
