Do you not like the way the Schema Browser appears or operates 'out of the box'? For example, do you wish you could have a Tree view of the objects or if you could turn off some of the object types that you never use? You can completely configure the visual layouts of the Schema Browser by using the 'Browser Style' button on the Right Hand Side (RHS) toolbar. www.toadsoft.com/browser_tip1.jpg From here you can change the display type from the default of MultiLine Tab to Single Line Tab, Tree, or my favorite - Dropdown. I like dropdown b/c I can use the Keyboard to navigate the object type list. You can also configure the types of tabs that display, reorder, or rename them. For example I could turn off everything BUT Tables and Indexes and rename Tables to 'Les Tables'. The same functionality is available for the RHS tabs. Simply mouse-right-click on the RHS tabs and select 'Customize'. Note: This feature is available as of version 9.0.
