Hi Susan,
Re-reading this post, I realized my answer makes it sound like we won't entertain the suggestion. Sorry about that. It's been added to the list. However, these numbers are on different tabs, and the Edit Item dialog is modal (it cannot be opened with another form). I don't think that having the information on the tab will improve things very much. You'll want one instance open to edit the item price, and another instance to View the costing information.
I just wondered whether the manual calculation you were doing might not be faster using Update prices.

Edit Reason: Modal dialog.
