HI Peter I think you do need to save table. If you look at the file sizes before you save it, any data written while fastedit is on is not reflected in file sizes. I think the save might right the HEX 1A at the true ends of DAT,MAP and ID files. Also there is a temp DTA file present until you do the save.
