[AccessD] Dividing days into years and months

Hi Arthur

That's the definition we stick to.

Even when you say "30 days" it means "a month" because in general
terms it means a banking month which counts as 30 days always, giving
360 "days" a year. 

The major difference comes when talking about, say, four weeks or 28
days; that is taking literally.
