Try these sites. I like the second one but I have no idea how accurate
the calculations are for any of these sites (something I should check
in my free time).

http://www.science.adelaide.edu.au/microb/learn/oligcalc.htm

I also have a molecular weight calculation field in Filemaker Pro as
follows

<fontfamily><param>Geneva</param><bigger><bigger>(PatternCount(Sequence;
"A")* 313.2106) + (PatternCount(Sequence; "G") * 329.21) +
(PatternCount(Sequence; "C") * 289.1854) + (PatternCount(Sequence; "T")
* 304.1972) - 61.965

</bigger></bigger></fontfamily>"Sequence" in this calculation is the
reference field where the oligo sequence is entered.

Hope this is what you wanted
