Hi, just a Total Thank You to Mathew Phan. Your article was so clear and helped me re-connect with Oracle DB and Toad. I am retired from Air Canada and was brought back on some data modernization projects. I had to re-connect previous pathways. merci and good luck in your consulting business

Hi, thanks for the article.
Unfortunately, it didn't work for me - I got a message from TOAD at startup saying "No valid Oracle Client found". I'm using TOAD 10.6 so I installed Oracle Instant Client 10.2.0.5 32-bit.
When I click the ellipsis next to the "Connect Using" dropdown, I get a message saying "You do not have any Oracle Homes installed!". Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks
