I can not reproduce this problem. The query toolbar is present every time and I can click on it as many times as I want.

It may be some setting, though. Go to Query options, Advanced and check if you have Disconnect option checked there.

Also go to Tools menu, Options and verify options for Query there.

>>>When creating a new query in the query editor, after clicking OK and executing the query, I notice that the query analyzer toolbar remains unactivated. The only time I see it selectable is after creating a new view......I can click on the query toobar as well as the view toolbar.....How is the query analyzer toolbar ever activated ??
