    Does Project 2010 support 24 hour clock time\date formats?

    I don't see it anywhere.

    I guess I can write some code and stuff it into an custom text field but I'm hoping I've just missed something somewhere.

    Kind regards,

    Steve

    Project 2010 uses the system's setting for time display format. You need to customize system settings.

    If you are looking for time to be shown using military time, where 8:00 PM = 20:00 hours, then no this is not possible.  You would need to create a custom field with a formula to show time that way.  Hope this helps.

    I just needed to do this as well, but I didn't know how to change the system time format in Windows 7, so I'll share this in case anyone else if having the same problem:

    Open the "Region and Language" Control Panel item either by searching for it in the Control Panel, or by entering "intl.cpl" in the Start Menu search box, the run prompt, or the command line.  From this window you can change the "Short" and "Long" time formats to your preference.  Note that the capital "H" is for 24hr time.  Once the changes are applied, your office apps like Project, Outlook, etc. will display time in that format.

    Dale Howard's answer is incorrect.

    I have verified that the other answers (setting system time settings) works.

    Look at the original question again:  Does Project 2010 support 24 hour clock time\date formats?  My answer is correct.  Setting the system clock is NOT a solution to the problem!

    No. You can not do that. 

    Add a custom field to your table view (whichever table view you are using - default is Entry) and then add a simple VB formula.
