The best is not to include calculated fields, when the results can be obtained by simple calculations from other fields in the same record. Saving the calculated field separately is simply a waste of space.

Just calculate the product on-demand - for instance, you can set the .ControlSource of a Grid.Column to the desired product.

If you need many, or complicated, calculations (based on the same record), you might consider having a funcion or class that you invoke to "fetch" all required "calculated fields" for the current record.
