Hello, I was using Toad Data modeler 3.6 and I was using scripts and custom forms that were gvien to me by the person in charge before me. Scripts working perfectly under version 3.6 and I migrated to 4.3. Scripts and forms were stil working. Recently I tested version 5 but my script are working but not the custom forms: it is giving me a lot of error message… Is there any thing that change between this version that could explain the error ? I also tested to create a customize form but the customize form as is always in grey. I don’t find how to enable it. Does anyone has an idea to make it work ? Thanks for your help ---

I am already in expert mode. Customize forms is not in grey but Customize forms as is grey and I cannot use it. I reinstall several times Toad but I cannot find any way to enable this item THanks ---

Ok – you are in expert mode. Now open something - e.g. table editor. Chose customize form – brings up IDE where you can redesign the screen as you see fit. Make some changes – e.g. I added some simple text to the forms. Close the IDE editable version of the form – close in upper right corner. There are my changes now on the screen – i.e. I can see them. Now choose save form to make it permanent. That’s it – you’re done. **From:** Ilocans [[mailto:bounce-Ilocans@toadworld.com](mailto:bounce-Ilocans@toadworld.com)] **Sent:** Monday, February 17, 2014 5:36 PM **To:** [tdmscript@toadworld.com](mailto:tdmscript@toadworld.com) **Subject:** RE: [Toad Data Modeler - Scripting & Customizations Discussion Forum] Customize Form **[RE: Customize Form](http://www.toadworld.com/products/toad-data-modeler/f/31/p/21343/44537.aspx#44537)** Reply by Ilocans I am already in expert mode.

Hi, you write: “Customize forms is not in grey but Customize forms as is grey and I cannot use it.” From the TDM Help file: Customize Form - The changes will be saved to your user package _My Package_. Customiez Form as - The changes will be saved to another package than _My Package_. **This option is disabled by default. To enable it,** select Settings | Options | Expert Mode and **clear the Save the definitions to the My Package** checkbox. Is this what you need? Regards, Vladka
