Days360 is an Excel function, not an Access one. You can set a reference to
Excel and use it by wrapping it up as an Access function something like
this:

Function XL360(Arg1, Arg2) As Double
Dim objXL As New Excel.Application
XL360= objXL.WorksheetFunction.Days360(Arg1,Arg2)
Set objXL = Nothing
End Sub

Now you can use it like this:

XL360("1/1/2004", "12/31/2004")

which should return 360
