RE: ORA-03115 (TOAD question!!)

Sorry, I must have been shooting from the hip.

Not taking enough time to read more carefully.

The LAST_HOME is likely being read by TOAD.

Could be that TOAD stores the Oracle home it was last initialized with, compares it to the current on on subsequent startups, and tries to revert by using LAST_HOME.

Take a look at any ini files or TOAD registry entries.
