Is your oracle client a 64 bit client? If so, you need a 32 bit client to work with 32 bit Toad

Yes Micheal, I have 32bit oracle and my server is 64bit express, will that be an issue?

That was Greg, but no that would not be an issue. Your version of Toad is 32-bit so you must use a 32-bit client. It’s OK that the server is 64-bit.

Is OraClient11g_home2 an instant client? If so your version of Toad has a bug with the “installed” instant clients. Instant clients setup by the Oracle Universal Installer create a registry key for the client and Toad can’t handle that. It only supports the unzipped clients. Newer versions of Toad have this resolved.

You have two homes installed. Try selecting OraClient11g_home1 as the active client on the login window. Can you connect with it?

Michael

well at the moment I removed all the clients and server! I’m reinstalling it and will get back to you with the new installation.

Hi Micheal Thanks for the support, Installation fixed the issue! I still dont know what caused it :slight_smile: :slight_smile: RIBBIT!
