I get a Null error when trying to create a database. I right click on databases then create database and this error displays:

System.NullReferenceException  
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Hello,  
is it reproducible on demand in your environment?  
And another question to you - what TSS version you are using?

regards,  
Alexander

Marcie,

Thanks for reporting the issue. I have found it’s b/c of your limited rights - you do not have access to “model” database. There is no error in my dev build, but toad doesn’t allow me to open dialog anyway. Same time I know I can create a database, so the root problem still exists and we need to fix it going forward.
