I should have added... It is my understanding that short of closing the table (obviously) or issuing the FastEdit Off command, the only other way that FastEdit On would become disabled was if an Alter Table command was issued.
If Committing (saving) the table does indeed disable FastEdit On I will have to look into some of my programs... For those of you unfamiliar with FastEdit, look into the Set Table command in your MapBasic help.

Perhaps one of our friends on the list from MapInfo could fill us in? I have also wondered about this and would greatly appreciate some clarification.

Hi Tim, When you set fastedit on, the only reason I can think of why MapInfo enables the Save Table button, is to disable the FastEdit again. When you save the table the FastEdit mode is turned off. Actually there is no edit to be saved because they have allready been saved to the table, this is what the FastEdit mode enables. So when you push the Save Table and "save" the table with the FastEdit mode turned on, the only thing that actually happens is that the FastEdit Mode is turned off for this table. Closing the table without "saving" it doesn't result in lost data, because the changes have allready be made in the table. I'm not quite sure whether this does explaine the behaviour fully, but it might give you a better understanding of the FastEdit mode.

When I click on the Save button, the FastEdited table is listed as one that needs saving. If I instead just close the table WITHOUT saving it, I am not prompted to save it. 1. If Fastedit is ON, why does MI Pro think the table has unsaved edits (i.e. the Save button lights)? 2. If the Save button is lit, why am I allowed to close the table without being prompted to save it? Can anyone explain this? Using MI Pro 6.5.
