Why does automation Designer not have all the functionality that TDA has? For example, there is no ‘select to File’ and you can not export to a .xlsm file. I am using Version 10.6.1.3 of Toad for Oracle with Autmation Designer.

The Toad for Oracle product and TDA are two different code bases. You can post your request on the forum link below to make your request to the Toad for Oracle product.
