Title
Connection drop down not reading TNS_ADMIN value from registry -
Description
Toad
If there is a TNS_ADMIN key set in the environment variables then this is the tnsnames.ora file that TOAD will read even if there is a TNS_ADMIN key in the registry.
The environment always overrides the registry, so if TNS_ADMIN is set in the environment, then that takes precedence over the TNS_ADMIN setting in the registry. No variables should be set in the environment by the Oracle Home Selector except for the PATH. -
Resolution
WORKAROUND
Make sure there is no TNS_ADMIN Key set in the environment variables and that the TNS_ADMIN key is set in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE folder.
