Hi At the end of the day I’m sometimes in the middle of working on something. I have all the connections I need open, and the appropriate files open in editor windows (different connections), all in the position I’ve been used to working within for a day or so. Given our machines get shutdown overnight, I have to shut down TOAD. Does TOAD have the ability to save all this information so I can open TOAD and then quickly open all connections and editor windows I had open at the end of the previous day?

No Mike, but I’m guessing if you put that idea in the pond you’d find it pretty popular. ---

As a workaround, how about hibernating your PC and then when you wake it up it the next morning, before you do anything else in Toad, go to Session -\> Test Connections. ---

I’m on 9.1.0.62. If it crashes or we have a powerfailure, it saves everything and offers you the chance to save what you want. But under normal operations, (I have multiple editor windows open with multiple connections also) I save the work in each window as a text file with a name , a date and which system/connection… i.e. Production 07132010 student records. I save them all to a folder called current scripts… Then shut toad down before leaving. What helps is all my connections are saved with names so I can open them quickly. I know this probably does not help… but it’s the only thing I have been able to do. I don’t depend on TOAD to save anything for me… not even in the sql recall which I only use in emergencies and it won’'t help you if you have a crash.

That link is very old and this feature has been implemented already. In Toad's help search for "Workspaces" and see the About Workspaces topic.
