The section in red was the solution. It worked perfectly.I had had a problem with commenting/un-commenting blocks. So I installeda new Toad from scratch and changed one set of options from the defaultto what I had until I found the problem.

I guess I also replied yes toinstall the knowledge base for admin. So of course it changed theregistry info. Once I found the problem setting and changed it in mymain Toad I removed the Toad I had just installed.

I guess that left theregistry in a 'bad' state.I HATE THE REGISTRY. Why can't Toad go back to the simpler and cleanerinstalls which only used INI files this way you could install Toad on amemory stick and use on any computer. You currently allow installingToad on your work and home computer since you can't be at home and atwork at the same time. I would prefer allowing only one install but onmovable media. This way it would always be with you.Erwin Rollauer, ISR, McGill, 514 398-5023 ex 00626From: mailto: On Behalf OfCarl WrightSent: Monday, January 22, 2007 9:18 AMTo: 'Subject: RE: toad Knowledge expert for Oracle admin asking me for keyErwin, I had the same problem, try this.Please could you follow this solution from the online knowledgebase andlet me know if this resolves the problem.RESOLUTION:Verify that the 'Admin Kb' is listed under the 'Options' section of theHelp About in TOAD.Next, check the registry1.

The use of the registry is not Toad's fault, it's required for all theother quest products which it interacts with.
