Sounds like something pretty funky is going on on your machine. Did you take ownership of any of the files owned by the ex-account holder? The settings are stored on a per-user basis, in "~/Library/Preferences/pgadmin3 Preferences". It's in ini file format, so you should be able to edit the value in there. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgadmin-support mailing list (pgadmin-support@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgadmin-support
