Explanation
                    As stated in the topic itself  “it keeps a running total of a specified
                    numeric field”. In the above Query ,”New_Field” is the new
                    numeric field which gets created and contains the running total
                    of its value. As you can see, In the first row the value of “New_Field”
                    is 15 which is the value of “timestartpos”, now in the second row ,
                    the value of  “New_Field” is calculated as
                    “timestartpos(Second Rows)’s value + New_Field(First Rows)’s value” .                                       i.e., 0+15 = 15.   and so on …..
