functions in view

I have a view on SQL server 2000.
Using enterprise mngr to admin it.
In my view I would like to add a column that calculates something with the
other column.
An example could be:
Column Table
a x
b x
a1 y
mycustomcolumn = (a+b)*a1 =>> how can I insert this.
It's a bit like in Ms Access, where you have the expression builder.

create table test123 (col1 int, col2 int)
create view vTest
as
Select col1, col2, col3 = col1 * col2
From test123
Don't rely on SQL EM for object maintenance. Learn to use actual DDL
scripting. SQL EM doesn't do everyting and maintaining from scripts give
you a good handle on object design.
