I just downloaded Toad 13.1. How can I disable the annoying pop-up error windows? I don’t want to be constantly told I can search the Knowledgebase and forums for a solution.

The error dialog happens to have the “search knowledge base” option, but we shouldn’t just be showing that dialog willy-nilly. There should be a good reason that the error dialog is showing in the first place. If you don’t think there is, let us know what the error message is and how to reproduc…

Thank you for the response. The dialog shows when I have an error in my SQL code. I am able to diagnose the error without having to have a constant reminder from the error dialog window. The knowledge base would not help when I have a complex SQL syntax or logic error anyway. There should be an …

The KB button there is in addition to the ORA error. The dialog would still be there for your ORA errors regardless of any supplemental features it includes. Don’t code errors and you won’t get error dialog. :wink: The dialog underwent a bit of a cosmetic change for 13.1, but it is not new. If you …

For comparison here is the dialog in 13.0. [image] And the dialog for the same error in 13.1. [image] The new uses standard Windows Task Dialog now whereas the old was a custom Toad window. In addition to presenting the same info using a dialog more closely following Windows style guidelines, it…

I concur with the example popups provided; however, the 13.1 popup is so much more pronounced that it is annoying. I prefer the simpler, direct oracle error message that is in 13 popup. I believe most experienced users will know to click on ‘Help’ to get to toad specific resources. My preference …

If you are a beta user check next beta (13.2.0.11 or newer). A few changes have been made so that the KB button is a little more relevant.

I'm also looking for a way to disable the popup when there is an ORA error. The error showing in the message window is sufficient. I don't need a popup that requires me to close the window every time I have a syntax error or mistype a table name.

For me too it is enough looking at the message window. Do not need any KB-Help when I make little mistakes like wrong column_name or forgetting quotation mark. Very annoying !

And yet no-one has directly answered the question. I'm new to Toad and this, this is enough to make me use something else if it can't be turned off. Why do I have to dismiss a modal dialog when the message is already written to the messages pane? I'm sure that if I got as far as getting Toad inst…

[image] m.schouppe: And yet no-one has directly answered the question OK, here's a direct answer: We don't have plans to remove the error dialog. I sympathize with you, but all you have to do is hit ESC and it goes away. Although it changed recently, it's been in Toad since the beginning…
