I would like to change the date displayed against milestones from day/month
(default setting) to month/year. How is this done?

This aspect of the format (dd/mm or mm/dd) is determined by the
international settings in your operating system/control panel.
Then in MSP you can use Tools,Options,View to select the particular flavour.

Hello NicolaY,

You can view the available date formats for milestones through
Format > Layout in the "date format" section. Unfortunately,
month/year is not one of the settings. However, with a custom
field and formula you can achieve what you are seeking.

Add a custom text field (Text1 through Text30) to the task view.
Customize the field with the following formula:

Month([Start]) & "/" & Year([Start])

You should now see the start date month and year for each task.
Then choose Format > Bar Styles. Select the Milestone bar style,
click the Text tab at the bottom of the dialog and in the "right"
box replace "Start" with "Text1".

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
