Title: Auditing edits made to mapinfo tables.
Mathew,
 
MapInfo isn't that good at these kind of things, not when working in the native tab format. You would need to write your own tools for doing all the operations - that would be quite a job.
 
I would recommend using a Spatial Database in stead. You can then make the database system keep track of all the changes, even tore them in a separate table, so that you have access to the previous version of every record.
 
MapInfo 8.0 introduced support for Oracle Workspaces. This is actual exactly what you are looking for. You can setup a table to keep track of every change, and this can be done from within MapInfo. The changes at stored in a separate table that with a small amount of work can be opened and viewed in the map as well.

Subject: [MI-L] Auditing edits made to mapinfo tables.

I need to create an audit trail of all edits made to a certain mapinfo table. The Audit trail must include user ID, Date, Time etc. Can mapinfo facilitate any form of auditing? All ideas would help.

Regards,
