Hey guys... I just wanted to take a second and say thank you for building such a great tool and somehow offering it as freeware. I especially appreciate your continued efforts to improve this tool and allowing the community to provide feedback.

I hope my feedback below is helpful to your development team:
Please review my beta feedback below:

Environment / Versions:
I've been using Toad for MySQL 5.0.0.345 on my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and just attempted to install MySQL Beta 6.0.0.625.


Issue: Beta Period Expired
--------------------------------------------
Immediately after installing and launching MySQL Beta 6.0.0.625, I received the following Windows Dialog Box Message:

Message Title: Toad for MySQL Beta
Message Type: Info
Message Body:
This BETA period has expired. We will redirect you to Quest's website to download the latest version.

I have the option to click OK or Cancel. When clicking OK, the following page is loaded:
- http://www.toadformysql.com/index.jspa


Issue: Installation Shield Notes
--------------------------------------------
Running the install from [ToadForMySQL_Beta_6.0.0.625.exe] displays the following Title Label in the Wise Installation Window:

Quest Software Toad for MySQL Beta 5.0

Notice this title shows Beta 5.0 instead of Beta_6.0. It appears the install package was carried over from Beta 5.0 and perhaps the Beta Period date was not updated.

Other Notes
--------------------------------------------
The specific issue I'm hoping is resolved in this beta release is discussed on the following thread:

- http://toadformysql.com/thread.jspa?threadID=30541
- http://toadformysql.com/thread.jspa?threadID=29893

My specific issue is Toad throws errors when '0000-00-00 00:00:00' returned in a DateTime column.

Regarding: Beta Period Expired Issue
A new install package was released the day after my post to cover a new beta period.  This install worked without any issues.

Regarding: Installation Shield Issue
Install shield, install directory, and icon still displays Version 5.0 Beta instead of 6.0 Beta.  However, the program About Window accurately shows:

   Toad for MySQL 6.0.0.759 Beta Version - Expires 5/3/2011

Regarding: Other Notes
The issue with querying DateTime fields with '0000-00-00 00:00:00' or Null values as described in the link below is resolved in the beta release.
