Subject: Can a field value be calculated during display? 
I have a logbook which is a Calendar/Appointment book with Attributes: "Appointment DateTime", Place, etc.

I would like another Attribute called "When" whose value is calculated from Today's Date - Appointment date (so for example I could display today's appointments in red...). This calculation has to take place each time the logbook is displayed...

Possible? Useful?

Thanks,
Sridhar.
