Questions
Customer Support
If you have questions about using Toad, and you can't find the answers in the
User's Guide, the Getting Started Guide or Help please contact the customer support staff. The Help | Support Bundle menu item window provides updated support information.
The information it contains will be useful for support when resolving issues and you should include this support information with emails to Quest Support.
Including the Toad.INI file is optional, but it might help the support staff because it includes options settings and other Toad information. Toad.INI does not include any connection information (passwords, servers, usernames). That information is stored in CONNECTIONS.INI. So, when you submit the Toad.INI file to Quest Support or share it with other Toad users, your credentials
(passwords etc.) are not included.
The toolbar includes Copy the support bundle text to the clipboard, Save the support bundle text to a file, Send a message to the Toad mailing list
([email protected]), Send a message to Quest Support
([email protected]), Launch default web browser and go to Quest support on the web (http://www.quest.com/support/), Attach Toad.INI to emails (When checked, Toad.INI is included with your email to Quest Support or the Toad mailing list as an attachment), Include this information in the body of your emails (When checked, the support bundle text is included as the body of your email).
