Through normal editing, Mapinfo creates a transaction file for the table being edited. This allows the user the REVERT the table if the user wishes to get rid of the changes. By turning fastedit on, you make the changes directly to the table and reverting changes cannot be done, however, I guess the speed of the changes is increased. I have never tried using it, but if anyone can give light to the possible increase in speed I would like to hear it. It can only be done in the Mapbasic window or script.
