I don't think you can do that with a view. Calculated fields based on other records?

But with a cursor you can do it:
here's one way:

nMyYTDTotal = 0

SELECT dDate, SUM(amount) AS nTodaysTotal, MyYTD(amount) AS nYTD FROM MyTable WHERE dDate>={01/01/97} ORDER BY dDate, GROUP BY dDate INTO CURSOR _MyTotals

FUNC MyYTD(nAmt)
  nMyYTDTotal = nMyYTDTotal + nAmt
RETURN nMyYTDTotal
