Date Format

[TKE402]

Hi,

How do I change the date format in Outlook to be mm/dd/yy? Currently all my
emails in outlook show as yy/mm/dd. I can not see where to change this in
Outlook.

Thanks,

TKE402

Where do you see the format?

In the calendar: You need to change the Date format in Regional Settings (in
Windows Control panel). This change will affect applications you use.

In the Message list: right click on the row of field names at the top of the
list and choose Custom... then Format columns. Select the date column and
choose a new format.

I'm having this issue in both my messages and calendar. I have done what you
said in the Regional settings but it does not change in my calendar. Also
when try to change the format of the column in the messages I do not have a
Date from the available fields.

Ok looks like Outlook was "stuck" even though the date format was correct. So
what I did was change the regional settings to something like yy/mm/dd then
changed it back to mm/dd/yy and all is working now.
