Month calculation

[SteveS]

I thought I would ask the pro's this question relating to a month calculation. I have an employee attendance database and I want to automatically add 1.25 days to each employee

[transpower]

employee_days = base_employee_days + 1.25*month(today), run at the end of each month.

[SteveS]

What does the _ mean in the calculation? I have a script that adds 1.25 days to 30 employees in a (available days field). Should I include this calculation in a start up script? I think I am missing somthing.

The _ replaces a space in the field name. If you are going to use on the web or in some other program the space may cause problems. Therefore many developers use the _ in their field names, layout names, etc.

Thank you very much for your help!
