Field that isn't in the database, just does a calculation?

I have some information I need to compute off 2 other fields in the table. It will only be used on the layout, and never referenced. Do I have to create a calculation field in the database, or is there a way to just create a field or portal on the layout that shows me a calculated result?

You need a field - it could be global or calculation. Or ... you could fire a Custom Dialog which displays the calculation results right in the message.

It's too bad we can't put global variables within merge fields!
