All,

this relates to Toad for Oracle, Beta 12.12.0.16.

While changing some source code my Toad session simply disappears.  
It has happened twice now - to me it’s a major nuisance.  
When restarting Toad, the work in progress is lost - not a trace remains ☹

I understand that - without any message or other symptom - this might be a tough one.

If you would like any additional info, I’ll be happy to assist whenever I can.

# Kind regards, Abe Kornelis

Small addition: Status of work in progress was not saved when Toad unexpectedly exited, nor were the changes to the project manager setup.

All,

I just upgraded to Beta 12.12.0.18.

Unfortunately, the problem still persists.

As I am loath to continually risk losing work in progress, I will stop using the Beta and use 12.10 in stead.

Abe, this sounds similar to what’s been posted in the “Toad crashes” thread

[https://www.toadworld.com/products/toad-for-oracle/toad\_for\_oracle\_beta\_program/f/86/t/34259](https://www.toadworld.com/products/toad-for-oracle/toad_for_oracle_beta_program/f/86/t/34259)

You might try replacing the beta QP5.dll with the version from 12.11. That worked for me.

Hi,

thanks fro the suggestion. I noticed the similarity, and considered copying your solution.

However, I prefer to work with the vanilla version.

So I’m now working with Toad 12.10, which works fine for me.

A parser fix will get out of the door today and should make it into the beta very quickly… Thanks for your patience and sorry for the inconvenience.
