Ron, Sounds like a security problem. Make sure you have granted select, insert, update & delete access directly to the dblink user in the 9.2 database. My gues is that you are using roles. Good Luck!

I am using synonyms and dblinks. If I do an sql select or insert in the 7.3.4 database that ends up going to the 9.2 database it works fine. But when I try to compile a package with the same synonym and dblink I get an error that says it can't find the table@link in the 9.2 database. The standalone select or insert works fine, but the compile fails. =20 Any ideas what I am missing? Thanks!
