saving passwords in TOAD and SQL Nav

[DirtyB]

I have Toad and SQL Nav here. We just moved an instance of a database from one server to another. I changed my TNS Names files, however, I cannot connect to the new instance via TOAD or SQL Nav. I can connect with SQL PLUS, which tells me that my TNS Names file is ok and the DB is ok. I have heard of a problem in TOAD and SQL Nav when you use the "save password" checkbox to connect. Does anyone have any info on this?

Thanks

Have you used the "SQLNET Help" button on the TOAD login screen to see/set which Oracle home that TOAD is using? If you have multiple homes, TOAD may be using a different one than SQL*Plus is using and the TNSNAMES file may differ between the homes.
