I recently received a new laptop and re-installed Toad for Data Modeler 7.3. I didnt open any models at that time. Now I have a need to open models and noticed all connections disappeared. I also installed Toad for Data Modeler 8.0 - same problem of no connections.

Trying to create new connection – get Object doesn’t support this property or method. Row 14, column 3.. CallStack REDataSourceDDLMS12

Seems to not support SQL server 2012 but where is this defined? I am just trying to create a new connection?
