is anyone familiar with entering dates pre 1800's ? I'm trying to use
the following function =DAYS360() between to dates however, any date i
enter before 1900 gives me an error.

As you've found out, Excel is not good at dates before Jan 1/1900.

In addition, you should know that DAYS360 does not give an accurate difference
in every case. You should use simple subtraction (ie, =b1-a1) to get the true
number of days between two dates.
