Thanks Jacques, I now understand why it only works some of the time as well. I have tried to use undo the reverse a change to point style that I have done for a number of objects (well over 10), and noticed it did not work. It probably explains this in the manual someplace, but I probably missed it. Thanks for the info.
I do agree that it is poor design. Especially the capability to have multiple undo instances stored is possible. Maybe the MapInfo folks are listening and will improve on this area.

MI remembers only of the last one and only if it implied less than "10" objects WAD but poorly designed, eh?

I now have 7.8 and I see the same problem, only worse. I thought it was just one of the many quirks about MapInfo you have to live with. Hadn't been too much of a concern before, but is becoming more annoying as time passes. I've noticed something else too. I can only UNDO once. I have the maximum number of undo's set to 10 in the preferences, but MapInfo has only ever allowed one. Occasionally I realise something I did wrong and need to take it back a few actions. Since I can only do it once, I have to revert the TAB or close it and use a backup TAB. This is very annoying. Anyone know something about these items and how to fix them.

Not a big problem but one that can be annoying. Wondering if anyone else had noticed a change since upgrading to 7.8 ? My PC is the same as I was running 7.5 on.
