SUMMARY

When you create a new file in Microsoft Project, the project Start Date, the Current Date field, and the Gantt Chart timescale may display a date other than the current date.

CAUSE

This problem occurs when the system clock on your computer has an incorrect date.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, change the system date on your computer so that the correct date will be reflected in Microsoft Project.

MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft Project obtains the current date, which is displayed in the Microsoft Project Info dialog box, from the computer's system clock.
