Maybe it was already mentioned in the comments section, but I wonder where Canada is in this chart?
We are fairing better than all the G7 countries.
How have the world's big economies fared since 2007?
AS MANY rich economies face recession this year, it is interesting to compare how output per person has changed in the world's big economies since 2007, just before the financial crisis hit. According to the Economist Intelligence Unit's forecasts, people in Britain, America, France and Japan will be less well-off in 2012 than they were in 2007. In Britain, real GDP per person will drop by more than 5% compared with its pre-crisis level. Germany and the BRIC countries are doing better. India's real output per person is forecast to be 34% higher this year than it was in 2007; the increase in China will be over 50%.

thought the last crisis forced us to outlaw GDP comparisons in case we all became CDS obsessed bankers
With the exception of Germany, it is the highly indebted oil consuming import dependent nations that will fare the worst, because high energy costs implies smaller possibilities of growth and therefore smaller future that threatens loan repayment and bank solvency. Its time to consider another Coppenhagen treaty that brings the energy issue front and center in economic modeling in the functions of production, consumption, growth and monetary creation; i.i. The Energy Within Economics for Human Prosperity.
The title to the chart is "Real GDP per person".
Sorry to have to ask such an elementary question; what is "real" GDP and how does it differ from plain vanilla GDP?
Does the chart just show changes to GDP after the effects of inflation have been removed?
I doubt the chart, India and developing, are you kidding me? More than 320million people go hungry every day, more than 40% kids are undernourished and you are talking about GDP.
Had Germany stayed with the Deutschmark rather than joining the Euro, the DM would have risen to a higher level, making exports to China and other markets less profitable. Exports within the Euro market, funded indirectly through Germany's current account excess with its Euro neighbors, would also have been lower. Being in the Euro has artificially kept Germany's currency low and its exports high. The flaws in this Euro system are now becoming clear, and Germany, which benefited the most, will now have to pay the bill, either through massive transfers now or through a breakup of the Euro. I think it likely that Germany's GDP per capita results will not be so impressive five years in the future.
It is a lot easier to keep growing when you are still in a position to borrow "innovations" from others in order to increase productivity? If you have to rely solely on creating your innovations, it is much harder to keep us a steady improvement. Hence the higher growth in developing economies, regardless of whether the developed economies' GDPs are growing or shrinking.
"excluding germany which never seems to be doing anything wrong"
The truth is far away from that statement, unfortunatelly.
Empires of Britain, America, and even Japan are in decline.
Empires in the East are Rising: India and China.
Ironically the exception of German, is due in part to exportation of machinery and robots to thriving Chinese factories--an Echo Boom. Brazil is a commodities producer and it also riding the Chinese boom.
Smart strategy would integrate declining Western economies to needs of the upcoming rising economies. Sell more to China and India.
The wealth is here, it is just unequally distributed as European countries begin to follow the path of Germany.
It is not just Decline and Fall...it can be Win-Win.
From my personal experience in a booming economy, young people in China are going to get frustrated. Wages may go up rapidly but other things like properties etc. will rush up even faster.
Already we are seeing that young ladies are not prepared to get married unless their young men can afford to buy their own apartments.
There are no winners or losers from this chart IMO.
Given that resources of Mother Earth is somewhat finite, nations of FUGJB (er that's France, USA, Germany, Japan, Britain) may have just approaching or reached the point of diminishing return, being developed in economy and all, while less economically developed nations of BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) each still has plenty of headroom for growth. It's only fair that they do.
Now perhaps one of our experts will explain the reason for this big difference in national productivity and prosperity? Actually I think I already know the answer and it is because of the greater working opportunities offered to entrepreneurs and businesses in the places where the natural resources are more easily accessed and made available, without having to pay land owners large costs for the "priviledge".
This effect could be reduced if the less prosperous countries would tax land values instead of incomes and products. Land would cease to be held unused and its cost of use would drop. Demand for goods would simultaneously rise and the speculators whom benefit from the taxed money invested in the infra-structure, would have to work for their livings!
Growth rates don't say much about how rich or poor a country is at the moment. If a country had one bullock cart as trasportation, and somehow managed to get another by the end of the year, it would be richer by 100%, whereas if Japan installed 20 more bullet trains, it won't affect their groth rate much.
I would love to see the ecohnomist coming up with Charts about the really poor countries. It must be real uncomfortable for most the readers to acknowledge exacly HOW poor people can be, but, that is a reality most people are living with. People who won't ever get a glimps of charts discussing how poor(!) the rich countries consider themselves to be. :)
Wage pressure will be tempered. As Bloomberg has reported, more young people and graduates from the West are rushing into China for internships.
Amazing that a simple chart can get the kooks from beneath their rocks to generate odd statements. I took the trouble of reading nearly all comments to this article and here are my reactions to some recurrent themes:
1. A lot of people cannot distinguish between a graph of growth from a chart of absolute value. These are rates of change people, not actual values, people! The U.S., Europe and Japan are all a lot richer than Russia and Brazil and vastly more so than India and China.
2. Related to that point, a number of posters expressing surprise that standard of living appears higher in the richer countries and that so many people want to emigrate to them. It should be obvious: it's a consequence of the absolute level of income, not growth. Otherwise, Angola, which is growing 15% p.a. would be the main destination for immigrants
3. There were also a few comments announcing the inevitable decline of the West and the dominance of the East - in a couple of cases, attributed to "greed" or something similar. That's not even too much into the chart; it's pure (unfounded) speculation. The rise of the BRICS and "the East" is mostly driven by demographics - a whole lot of people, with incomes well below their potential, trying to realize that potential. Greed does play a part, but in the different direction - all the BRICs (and most of Asia has scuttled their socialist regimes or instruments and embraced capitalism (even if imperfectly, and not always called that). THAT is what's allowing people to reach their economic potential
4. Many comments implying that Germany is guilty of something - it'd have "unfairly" benefitted from the Euro, presumably on the backs of those countries now in financial trouble. Oh, pleeease! This is fiction! Germany has been a top 5 exporter forever, even during the (very strong) D-Mark era. And the Euro took a ride from the D-mark strength, not the other way around. Germans are doing well because they are well educated, have superb technology, strong work ethic and (comparatively) frugal lifestyles
Wow, do people take these daily charts seriously!
Had Germany stayed with the Deutschmark:
- The German industry is importing most components for their products (e.g. for cars, chemicals etc.). These components would be much cheaper, hence it would also be possible so sell German products relatively cheap without the Euro (though a bit more expensive than now, but price sensitivity is low many products anyway)
- Imports (e.g. gas, oil etc.) would be cheaper, increasing the wealth and purchasing power of most German citizens, boosting domestic consumption and making Germany less reliable on exports than it is today
- An appreciated currency (such as the Deutschmark) would force companies to rely more on quality and to be more innovative
- If Germany left the Euro today, its debts could devalue, the government would have more resources for investments
The Euro is still the best option for Germany and probably all other EZ countries (maybe not Greece). But for Germany only under the condition that the troubled countries get their act together, increase their competitiveness to reduce their trade imbalances and do not rely on increased permanent wealth transfers from others (such transfers do already exist in the EU through different fonds)
In case of a break up of the Euro, an export crash and rise in unemployment in Germany would only be a short term effect (though an ugly one). But social safety nets would be available, especially after devaluing our debts, and unemployment would never reach the levels we had a few years ago DURING EURO TIMES. In the medium and long term, our economy would be forced to become more innovative and rely on quality (like in e.g. Scandinavian countries). A new currency would defenitely never reach the level of the Swiss Frank.
Well,GDP cann't stand for everything.For example,the sense of happiness.I am a Chinese who live in Shanghai.There is no denying that the economy has developed rapidly recent years.But,an increasing number of people in China become slaves of house,credit cards and marriage.In Shanghai,we need to pay more than 2millions RMB to buy a big and good house.With the same amount money,we can buy a far more better house in America.It's really hard for ordinary people to afford a house.I think many people in China put great emphasis on material enjoyment.They don't know the true meaning of life.Above all,the west regions of China are still very poor.China have to solve many serious problems,especially corruption and social morality.I can say,China still has a long way to go.Don't just judge by the GDP and economy.
China's 50%+ growth looks really impressive, but it doesn't even come close to matching the growth in property prices over the same period. Sure the Chinese might have higher salaries, but they're also paying 100%+ more for housing.
Alright Germany! But still have to say, Britain is the worst so it makes even France feeling better off.

Stephen Lynch is a Tony Award nominated American actor, musician and comedian. Starting out as a temp worker in New York he spent lunch hours and evenings writing and performing his material at clubs and underground music venues around Manhattan.
Stephen Lynch tickets are available now on Aloud.com!
He quickly developed a devoted fan base and caught the attention of Comedy Central, who invited him to record his first cable special in 2000. That special became one of their highest rated shows in the series, almost unheard of for an unknown. His second Comedy Central special debuted in January 2008, with similarly high ratings.
In 2006, Stephen Lynch stepped onto the Broadway stage for the first time in the title role of The Wedding Singer. His performance earned him nominations for some of the highest honors in American Theatre including the Drama League Award for Distinguished Performance, the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actor in a Musical, as well as the highly coveted Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical.
Stephen's albums "A Little Bit Special," "Superhero," "The Craig Machine," and "3 Balloons" have sold hundreds of thousands of copies around the world.

He's also headlined his own sold out shows throughout the United States, Australia and Europe.

Grafton Ferry Set To Return
A Mississippi River ferry service linking southwestern Illinois' Jersey County to Missouri's St. Charles County is about to be back in business after being shut down for more than two years.
The (Alton) Telegraph (http://bit.ly/1146MGq ) reports that the Grafton ferry will resume next Friday, thanks to dredging efforts that cleared out river silt that kept the service from operating.
Owned by the 670-resident city of Grafton northeast of St. Louis, the ferry had served as a key shuttle for motorists trying to cross the confluence of the Mississippi and Illinois rivers.
The ferry will operate from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

General Series Editors: Gay Wilson Allen and Sculley Bradley
Originally published between 1961 and 1984, and now available in paperback for the first time, the critically acclaimed Collected Writings of Walt Whitman captures every facet of one of America's most important poets.
In discussing letter-writing, Whitman made his own views clear. Simplicity and naturalness were his guidelines. "I like my letters to be personal—very personal—and then stop." The six volumes in The Correspondence comprise nearly 3,000 letters written over a half century, revealing Whitman the person as no other documents can.
This volume, together with Volume IV, covers the last seven years of Whitman's life, giving an almost day-by-day account of his long struggle with various ailments, his stoical acceptance of constant pain, but also his continuing energy. This period saw his supervision and publication of two complete editions of Leaves of Grass, as well as November Boughs and Good-bye My Fancy. Although Whitman himself admitted that many of his later poems were "pot boilers," designed primarily to make money, his recognition and popularity continued to grow as his health declined. His poems were printed seemingly everywhere and the volume of critical commentary increased. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Whitman did not suffer from neglect of indifference.

Puig took to Twitter to air his anger, writing, "Anne Hathaway didn't shake my hand because she was she was afraid of ebola #I'mAThirdWorldJournalist.

Analysis of Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Options within a Multi-sector Economic Framework
DOE Green Energy (OSTI)
National-scale analysis of greenhouse gas mitigation options is generally carried out using top-down economic models with moderate energy detail but very limited detail in agriculture and forestry. However, a complete analysis of greenhouse gas mitigation options requires an improved representation of agriculture within the top-down economic models used for analysis of climate policy. Greenhouse gas mitigation options within the agricultural sector include changes in afforestation of agricultural lands, crop and livestock management practices, harvesting of biomass crops for fuel, and the sequestration of carbon in agricultural soils. Analysis of such options is usually carried out in a bottom-up model such as the Agricultural Sector Model (ASM). We report on activities to combine the bottom-up agricultural detail from ASM with the top-down economic and energy structure used at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), which has been used extensively for analysis of alternative carbon mitigation strategies.

In recognition of the major transitions occurring within the U.S. energy economy, the Joint Institute for Strategic Energy Analysis (JISEA) and Stanford University's Precourt Institute for Energy (PIE) engaged energy system stakeholders from government, industry, academia, and the environmental community in a discussion about the priority issues for a program of rigorous research relating to natural gas. Held December 10-11, 2012 on the Golden, CO campus of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the workshop provided invited experts opportunity to describe the state of current knowledge in defined topic areas, and to suggest analytic priorities for that topic area. Following discussion, all stakeholders then contributed potential research questions for each topic, and then determined priorities through an interactive voting process. This record of proceedings focuses on the outcomes of the discussion.

Bayesian Nash Equilibria and Bell Inequalities
Games with incomplete information are formulated in a multi-sector probability matrix formalism that can cope with quantum as well as classical strategies. An analysis of classical and quantum strategy in a multi-sector extension of the game of Battle of Sexes clarifies the two distinct roles of nonlocal strategies, and establish the direct link between the true quantum gain of game's payoff and the breaking of Bell inequalities.

Immigration, Offshoring and American Jobs GianmarcoI.P.Ottaviano,(Universita�Bocconi,CEPR,FEEMandLdA)
How many "American jobs " have U.S.-born workers lost due to immigration and offshoring? Or, alternatively, is it possible that immigration and offshoring, by promoting cost-savings and enhanced efficiency in firms, have spurred the creation of jobs for U.S. natives? We consider a multi-sector version of the Grossman and Rossi-Hansberg (2008) model with a continuum of tasks in each sector and we augment it to include immigrants with heterogeneous productivity in tasks. We use this model to jointly analyze the impact of a reduction in the costs of offshoring and of the costs of immigrating to the U.S. The model predicts that while cheaper offshoring reduces the share of natives among less skilled workers, cheaper immigration does not, but rather reduces the share of offshored jobs instead. Moreover, since both phenomena have a positive "cost-savings " effect they may leave unaffected, or even increase, total native employment of less skilled workers. Our model also predicts that offshoring will push natives toward jobs that are more intensive in communication-interactive skills and away from those that are manual and routine intensive. We test the predictions of the model on data for 58 U.S. manufacturing industries over the period 2000-2007 and find evidence in favor of a positive productivity effect such that immigration has a positive net effect on native employment while offshoring has no effect on it. We also find some evidence that offshoring has pushed

Economic Analysis of Energy Crop Production in the U.S. - Location, Quantities, Price, and Impacts on Traditional Agricultural Crops
POLYSYS is used to estimate US locations where, for any given energy crop price, energy crop production can be economically competitive with conventional crops. POLYSYS is a multi-crop, multi-sector agricultural model developed and maintained by the University of Tennessee and used by the USDA-Economic Research Service. It includes 305 agricultural statistical districts (ASD) which can be aggregated to provide state, regional, and national information. POLYSYS is being modified to include switchgrass, hybrid poplar, and willow on all land suitable for their production. This paper summarizes the preliminary national level results of the POLYSYS analysis for selected energy crop prices for the year 2007 and presents the corresponding maps (for the same prices) of energy crop production locations by ASD. Summarized results include: (1) estimates of energy crop hectares (acres) and quantities (dry Mg, dry tons), (2) identification of traditional crops allocated to energy crop production and calculation of changes in their prices and hectares (acres) of production, and (3) changes in total net farm returns for traditional agricultural crops. The information is useful for identifying areas of the US where large quantities of lowest cost energy crops can most likely be produced.

U.S. Regional Demand Forecasts Using NEMS and GIS
SciTech Connect
The National Energy Modeling System (NEMS) is a multi-sector, integrated model of the U.S. energy system put out by the Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration. NEMS is used to produce the annual 20-year forecast of U.S. energy use aggregated to the nine-region census division level. The research objective was to disaggregate this regional energy forecast to the county level for select forecast years, for use in a more detailed and accurate regional analysis of energy usage across the U.S. The process of disaggregation using a geographic information system (GIS) was researched and a model was created utilizing available population forecasts and climate zone data. The model's primary purpose was to generate an energy demand forecast with greater spatial resolution than what is currently produced by NEMS, and to produce a flexible model that can be used repeatedly as an add-on to NEMS in which detailed analysis can be executed exogenously with results fed back into the NEMS data flow. The methods developed were then applied to the study data to obtain residential and commercial electricity demand forecasts. The model was subjected to comparative and statistical testing to assess predictive accuracy. Forecasts using this model were robust and accurate in slow-growing, temperate regions such as the Midwest and Mountain regions. Interestingly, however, the model performed with less accuracy in the Pacific and Northwest regions of the country where population growth was more active. In the future more refined methods will be necessary to improve the accuracy of these forecasts. The disaggregation method was written into a flexible tool within the ArcGIS environment which enables the user to output the results in five year intervals over the period 2000-2025. In addition, the outputs of this tool were used to develop a time-series simulation showing the temporal changes in electricity forecasts in terms of absolute, per capita, and density of demand.

Stephen Tucker Budget Magazine (IBM - British Ring) "Royle has some unique, creative and entertaining takes on such classics as the Chair Test, ACAAN, Hoys Tossed Out Deck and the Russian Roulette Plot which are certainly worth a closer look and take them to the next level. At times he had the audience on the edge of their seats and overall this show was top notch" Peter Turner (The Devil In Disguise, Jinxed & Bigger Fish) "A collection sure to upset many Mentalists and Psychic Entertainers with its revelations and details!" - Kenton Knepper "Mr Royle's suggestions, advice and routines are solid, practical and seem to be grounded in experience! Someone who tried this approach would probably recoup their investment quite quickly!" - Michael Close Magic Magazine Review "Thanks for "The Holy Grail of Mentalism". There is some seriously good thinking here, I particularly like the section on how to create "real miracles". I have always believed that truly inexplicable Mentalism is only achieved by going that extra mile; you obviously believe the same" Marc Paul - (Voted Worlds Greatest Mind Reader) "I have always had my doubts about mixing comedy and mentalism until I watched Royle's Egg, Sausage & Peas Show. I really enjoyed your lie detector routine, I feel this always plays well with a large audience. Your psychometry routine was absolutely hilarious. I have never seen belly buttons used before to give character analyses. This is an absolute gem. The finish with the specs ring was also strong. The book test was well positioned in your show. As Cassidy says you should never open with a book test otherwise your audience will think you are using a confederate. The spectator synchronicity with cards was very baffling and the magic square made for a very strong finish. All in all a very enjoyable show." - Roger Curzon (Creator of The Miracle Signed Card in Envelope)

SALEM — What seemed like a good deal to town and Rockingham Park officials proves there's no such thing as a sure bet.
Disappointment was strong yesterday after the state House of Representatives voted, 199-164, Wednesday to kill legislation that could have brought a $600-million-plus casino and entertainment complex to the former racetrack.
Legislative approval of expanded gambling in New Hampshire was expected to pump millions of dollars into the state and local economies.
Now, the question is whether Rockingham Park — a Salem institution for more than a century — can remain open without a casino.
Millennium Gaming of Las Vegas recently unveiled its latest plans for a 300-room hotel and entertainment venue at the park. Passage of Senate Bill 152 could have meant 5,000 video slot machines, 150 table games and up to 3,000 construction and gaming jobs at the park. The bill would have authorized a single casino and many saw Millennium and The Rock at the front of the pack.
Millennium spokesman Rich Killion insisted yesterday his company remains committed to Rockingham Park and the people of Salem. Millenium will not sever its six-year relationship with the park, he said.
Millennium has an option to purchase the 170-acre property, an option the company extended this winter. Millennium co-CEO Bill Wortman personally has a 20 percent ownership stake in the racetrack.
Yesterday, Rockingham Park president and general manager Edward Callahan said he's not sure what's in the cards for The Rock.
A casino was the only serious alternative among the many presented to him over the years, he said.
"I'm sure in the next month or two we will sit down and review all the options," he said. "We really haven't pushed anything else there."
Callahan said he isn't sure what those options are at this point.
"I just think away and beyond gaming — whether it's residential, industrial or commercial — anything could be an option," he said.
Opening casinos in Massachusetts will stymie any competitive edge New Hampshire could have gained by adopting expanded gambling, he said.
It's in the Legislature's hands, Callahan said. Lawmakers will be forced to raise and create new taxes to fund the state's needs, he said.
"The state just took a major step forward toward an income tax," Callahan said. "Property taxes will rise."
Callahan and Killion said even if expanded gambling is eventually approved, a slimmed-down plan — such as a slots parlor— would not be a viable option at The Rock.
"If all you are going to do is just put in a bunch of slot machines, I don't see that as being a great benefit to the town or the state," Callahan said. "Personally, I don't think that's what people would be looking for."
Killion agreed.
"That's not even a consideration," he said.
To compete with casinos in Massachusetts and Connecticut, New Hampshire has to provide something that's similar, if not better, Callahan and Killion said.
"Rockingham Park and Salem are still the best location in New England for a casino," Killion said. "We think that is the best fit and that remains."
Callahan said the charitable gaming that still takes place at the park will suffer as people flock to more luxurious facilities south of the border.
Last year, $2 million in charitable gaming was generated at The Rock, he said.
"Down the road, it could be half that," he said.
Callahan said developers have presented him with numerous business proposals over the years.
Probably the most unique was a plan for an indoor ski area — 38 stories high — presented four years ago, Callahan said. That project is now being built in New Jersey, he said.
"In the end, I don't think they had the best interests of Salem in mind," Callahan said of all the developers. "I'm not sure anyone would like to see a 38-story anything here."
Salem's five selectmen said yesterday they were disappointed in the House's vote, especially since a casino seemed like the best alternative for Rockingham Park.
A casino would probably have the least impact on town services, compared to a major residential or business complex moving to the site, Selectman Stephen Campbell said. That's because the casino would have to provide its own security and would be billed for emergency services, he said.
Without a casino, Campbell said, he doesn't see The Rock remaining in its current state for long.
"That 's just too valuable a property to just sit there," he said. "I always thought the casino was the best opportunity for Salem and the state."
Selectman James Keller agreed.
"It's certainly a blow and disappointing and perplexing," he said of the House vote. "I think certainly a casino was the most viable from an economic perspective."
Selectman Patrick Hargreaves is among those who believe lawmakers ignored the 81 percent of Salem voters who said they wanted a casino at the polls in March.
Of Salem's nine representatives, only five voted to ignore the House joint committee's recommendation that the bill was inexpedient to legislate. Had the full House rejected that recommendation, some 19 proposed amendments would have been heard, opening up the possibility of passage.
Those five lawmakers, all Republicans, were Reps. Gary Azarian, Ronald Belanger, Robert Elliott, Anne Priestley and Joseph Sweeney.
Three Salem Republicans agreed to accept the recommendation, effectively killing the casino bill they were Reps. Patrick Bick, Marlinda Garcia and John Sytek. Rep. Bianca Garcia did not vote.
"That's real discouraging when you have four people who didn't listen to the people who wanted a casino," Hargreaves said. "When are they going to wake up?"
Selectman Michael Lyons said Salem officials will continue to work with Callahan as he plots the future of Rockingham Park.
"We have worked with them with the zoning in the past and we will work with them in the future," Lyons said.

Does using the Me.Filter command work?
check references to see if any are missing.
From memory, I think the Choose command does what you want.
The correct command is Switch.
Have you linked the excel sheets to Access, that may be the problem.
What is the switchboard meant to be doing?
if the field is always like (A/1/1 or 2 digit number) then why not create a calculated column that converts A/1/8 to A/1/08, then sort on that.
You can't just say no it didn't work, what didn't work, please be more specific else we have no idea how to help.
Did you do what I suggested about creating a new query?
Are those fields text...
Is ContractNo text? If not remove the surrounding single quotes.
Is Cheque No text? if not remove the surrounding single quotes.
The format for the dates is "mm/dd/yyyy".

SELECT d.[Date] as ItemDescription
FROM Dates as d INNER JOIN FINAL as f ON d.[WK#] = f.ItemDescription
ORDER BY d.[WK#]
I don't understand what you want, a diagram would help.
Maybe some form of crosstab query is what you need?
In the switchboard where the Select Case statement is for option 1 which sets the Filter for the form.
In the Private Function HandleButtonClick(intBtn As Integer) you will see the following code:
I put a Me.FilterOn = True prior to the Me.Filter = .... command and it seems to work fine
Haven't heard that one before, would you send the database zipped with test data only.
This may be of help, let me know.
Does that mean there are always 10 pairs of Categories and percent fields per Excel sheet line or can it vary from 1 to 10 pairs.
You say "with other fields", what other fields and what is to be...
Will there be only 4 Categories and their associated %'s in the Excel sheet?
If so, then it is very straight forward to split these into another table and do the report using another query.
Maybe a crosstab query might be what you want? But you would have to massage the tables first.
I would like to see a database of this.
You can the use the ESC key to fully erase the new record from the subform.
If that doesn't work then send a zipped copy of the database.
Have you tried putting a test in the subform's BeforeUpdate event to cancel the write to the database.

Bush writes that he vetoed HB 315 because of, "unintended consequences, including putting some legitimate and responsible employees out of business." Bush expressed concern for the bill's lack of grandfathering for mold assessors and remediators.
Bush was also critical of what he called ambiguous "educational and examination requirements." He also said the bill's educational prerequisites for assessors and remediators appeared "arbitrary."
Lastly, Bush remarked that the industry may not be able to meet the bill's insurance requirements because the requisite insurance may not be readily available.
Bush's veto letter also included notice that he has directed the state to develop proposed legislation. The Department of Business and Professional Regulation has been directed, "to work with various stakeholders during the interim to develop proposed legislation. I encourage legislators to participate in this process and hope that they will work with the department to find a solution that protects the public while providing a constructive business climate in which legitimate and responsible Florida businesses can compete"

Marion, the frontman of Aurora's Fear Before the March of Flames, is speaking from somewhere in upstate New York, en route to a show in Farmingdale after a two-night stint across the border in Toronto and Montreal. He sounds exhausted. He and his bandmates -- singer/guitarist Adam Fisher, bassist Mike Madruga and drummer Brandon Proff -- slept in their van the night before, which he admits is par for the course ever since the group began incessantly crisscrossing the continent a couple of years ago. They don't have homes of their own; they barely have jobs. All aged 20 and 21, they graduated from high school straight into a road-weary purgatory of gas-station food, No-Doz and all-ages punk shows. Madruga even passed up a full-ride scholarship to CU to stick with Fear's relentless itinerary.
"We don't have time for anything else," says Marion. "Mike sometimes works at Starbucks, and I work on and off at Wahoo's Fish Tacos down in Park Meadows. But I haven't been there in a good six or seven months. Since we started writing our new album back in March, we haven't been home for more than a month total. We were gone for three months solid, came back for three weeks and then went out again. At the end of this tour, we'll be home for three days, play our CD-release show and go back out on the road again until Christmas. We're pretty much full-time. We're all pretty committed."
This commitment stretches back to their days at Aurora's Smoky Hill High School. There, Fisher, Proff and Madruga met and began playing together in various configurations, most notably the emo-pop outfit Thirtysixflip. The group's six-song EP, Sincerely, With Nothing Left to Say, came out in 2001, and it wasn't bad for a local release by a bunch of kids trying to cop the snotty whine of Newfound Glory and Saves the Day. Marion, also a friend from Smoky Hill, had never played in a band before -- but after Thirtysixflip upended, three-fourths of its members regrouped with him as their lead vocalist. Nearly complete, the quartet then went looking for its final and perhaps most important component: a cool name.
"We stole our band name from a newspaper article," Marion recounts. "I think it was the Denver Post." Actually, the article, which detailed the aftermath of a devastating wildfire in Conifer, ran in the Rocky Mountain News under the headline "The Fear Before the March of Flames." But the band's cannibalization didn't stop there: When it came time to christen their debut disc, Marion and crew returned to the scene of the crime. "We went and found that same article," he explains with a laugh, "and pulled out the line 'Odd how people shake.' The whole thing was something like, 'Isn't it odd how people shake when the fire's about to burn their houses down?' It's funny; some people have read into the title like it's supposed to be big and meaningful. But really, it's just us being lazy."
Odd How People Shake was released in late 2003 on the small Oregon imprint Rise Records, and it showed Fear to be a raging inferno in comparison to the flicker that was Thirtysixflip. Like a bath of battery acid, the album melted jarring guitars and thickly knotted rhythms into a churning pitch of melody and atonality. And while the disc clearly owed a back rub and a thank-you note to screamo kingpins like Botch and the Blood Brothers, it also had a deceptive depth and morbidly romantic sense of humor that was entirely its own.
Still, there was no reason to believe that Fear was going to be anything more than yet another decent Denver band trawling the countryside in a stink-ass van for gas money every night. But at a gig in New York, a representative of the eminent hardcore label Equal Vision caught the group's spazzy, bone-liquefying live act. As usual, the sharks started circling when they smelled blood; once one label took notice, others caught the scent. But after entertaining numerous offers, both independent and major, the foursome finally settled on a three-record deal with Equal Vision early this year. At that point, Fear Before the March of Flames had officially been together for eighteen months.
"It's been a very quick growth," Marion modestly admits. "And no one's more surprised about it than we are." The singer is taking his success with a grain of salt; he sees most of the industry attention his band has been getting as just another attempt by clueless opportunists to perpetuate the co-opting and dumbing down of hardcore.
"You'd be surprised by how many people interested in the hardcore scene really have no idea what it's about," Marion notes. "We could see right through them. They're just looking for something to take and to cheapen. We said no to that. I know we're not the only band in this position, and it's always interesting to see which ones will choose the opposite of what we did. We're content doing our own thing. It's worked for us so far, so there's no reason it shouldn't in the future."

Allegheny Technologies Incorporated (NYSE:ATI) announced today that it has reached an agreement to sell its tungsten materials business to Kennametal Inc. (NYSE:KMT) for $605 million. The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter 2013. As a result of this agreement, ATI will report the financial results of the tungsten materials business in discontinued operations pending completion of the transaction.
The tungsten materials business, called ATI Tungsten Materials, is part of ATI's Engineered Products segment. ATI's tungsten materials business has approximately 1,175 employees and produces tungsten powder, tungsten heavy alloys, tungsten carbide materials, and carbide cutting tools. For the year ended December 31, 2012, ATI's tungsten materials business generated total net revenue of $338.6 million, operating profit of $37.2 million, and EBITDA of $45.3 million.
"ATI's growth opportunities are in our High Performance Metals segment businesses, including precision forgings and titanium investment castings, and in our diversified Flat-Rolled Products segment business," said Rich Harshman, ATI Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The sale of our tungsten materials business to Kennametal, a recognized global leader in tungsten-based wear-resistant products, provides ATI with increased financial flexibility and simplifies capital allocation and deployment.
"This sale strengthens our focus on ATI's core strategic businesses and emphasizes the technical, commercial and operating synergies between our High Performance Metals and Flat-Rolled Products segment businesses.
"We also believe that the acquisition of the tungsten materials business by Kennametal improves the competitive position of this business, resulting in a stronger business for the benefit of customers and employees."
