Hello everyone, I just got new office laptop… so was trying to copying all my Toad sessions information (sessions/passwords) from older system to new one. I copied “~CONNECTIONPWDS.INI” from toad 12.0 to toad 12.10 users files location… But none of the sessions show up in the toad. C:\Users\ryella\AppData\Roaming\Quest Software\Toad for Oracle\12.0\User Files Any idea what changed in Toad 12.10? is it User files location or do I need to copy “~CONNECTIONPWDS.INI” file somewhere else? Any help on this is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Raghu ---

You also need connections.ini. Then it should be able to convert for you.

Thanks Gregory… I copied the connections.ini to below location… still no luck of seeing my saved connections… restarted my toad… even then nothing shows up… C:\Users\ryella\AppData\Roaming\Dell\Toad for Oracle\12.10\User Files ---

I just searched for connections.ini file and there are none under toad 12.10… seems like now they are saving the connections information as .XML file… Need to see how I can convert text file to XML file format… that might be the solution… Thanks, Raghu ---

Close Toad. Delete any Connections\*.ini and Connections.xml you have in 12.10 user files. Copy your old connections\*.ini to 12.10 user files. Start Toad. That should do it. ---

Thanks Michael… I just removed the connections.xml file and that did it!
