Sorry about the lack of info., but I was just trying to be brief as I
realize most people are VERY busy.
Running 8i Version 8.1.6 on all boxes concerned. It is not actually
"giving" an error when creating the link, but when you use the GUI to create
and then attempt to "test" the link with the "Test" button. The pop-up
message is: "The database link is not Active."
I can Tnsping the database, I can Ping the workstation, I can remote connect (i.e. connect user/password_at_dbname), and all of these function normally, but I need a Remote Database Link to create a synonym for a database on this NT 4.0 server for some other processes that require this type of connectivity.
Thanks...
Lynn :-)
