Saving in EXCEL 2007, weird grid behavior

Great, how soon will you release a version to do this? Some of my saves take quite a while, and I am often working on EXCEL in the interim. Using an instance means that it will save to whatever workbook I am currently working on, not a new workbook, which can be a disaster.

Please release a new version, soon. I am sure I'm not the only one hitting this limit (and there have been requests for this for years).

Thanks. Paul

TOAD 10 still saves in the ancient 2003 format even though 2007 is installed. I am regularly saving files with > 65K records and this is a major pain (EXCEL 2007 has been out for a LONG time now).

Are we ever going to have TOAD export to 2007?

Also, a while ago, I chose F4 to describe a table and clicked on a cell. The cursor became a flickering hourglass, and never let me access TOAD. I was forced to force-quit it.

Opening TOAD again, F4 on the same table worked fine.

Thanks. Pauly

color:#1F497D'>I will try to get to it for this beta cycle. I can also add an
option to the Excel instance format to always create a new workbook instead of
attach to the current one.

Hey Paul,

Great, how soon will you release a version to do this? Some of my saves take
quite a while, and I am often working on EXCEL in the interim. Using an
instance means that it will save to whatever workbook I am currently working
on, not a new workbook, which can be a disaster.

Perhaps a temporary alternative would be to save to CSV for importing into
Excel? It adds one more (minor) step, but it wouldn't get in your way while
you were in Excel, either. You'd also lose the auto-formatting that Toad
does, but I'd venture a guess that you don't have folks that are interested
in scrolling through each of those >64K rows either.

Just a thought...

I do this regularly, but there are quite a few people who do scroll through huge spreadsheets here (don't ask me why), so they do need to be formatted as some of them are at the VP level or above.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I again I strongly request the option to save in the 2007 version directly, with full formatting.

Thanks. Paul
