running two Toads at once

[jdehertogh]

for anyone seeking to run 1 Toad-instance on one monitor and another on a second monitor (like me), WITHOUT the option "Allow multiple copies of Toad to be loaded" checked - because this option gives the pitfall

Multiple Copies of Toad ( v12.0.0.61)

Genarally i use multiple copies of Toad. So i enabled “Allow multiple copies of Toad to be loaded” feature But every 5-10min it gives error about “Cannot create file “C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Roaming\Quest Software\Toad for Oracle\12.0\User Files\CONNECTIONPWDS.INI”. The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process” i just hit ok/ignore then continue work. I don’t know why it happens 'cos of my setting or bug.

solution (I have Toad 13.3):
search for "run multiple toad instances" in Toad Help (menu-item Help -> Contents) and choose topic "Run multiple Toad instances" = use startup parameter /VIRTUAL
