"consistently?" Again, what an odd statement. I've been building TOAD for about 6 years now and it was only YOUR post which caused me to violate my own long-standing rule and post a message in defense of my own product. I typically use that up other TOAD users. You need to re-read this thread to see who is stating fact and who is ranting. Ah-hum.
