I would like to dispatch toad queries on a recurring basis to a file directory. Is this possible? Does Toad need to be open in order to accomplish it?

There are many ways to do this. I would suggest looking on Toad World, Toad Help, or doing some simple google searches - there’s plenty of help online. Among some ways are using Automation Designer, or using Oracle Scheduler Jobs type (see in Schema Browser). Toad does not need to be open.
