Throw away the DaysLeft column and just calculate the days that are left
using the StartDate column.

Or better yet, throw out the DaysLeft column and instead create a column
called EndDate or SubscriptionEndDate. This way you don't need to update
the column everyday and you can easily calculate how many days are left
from within your code when you pull the record.

Does that help, or did I miss your question?
