There was a bug in early versions of Oracle 8 which meant desc tablename
didn't work but I don't think this was the message it gave.
You say thyou're actually doing desc synonym - who owns the synonym?
(look in dba_objects) If it's a private synonym you may not have
privileges to use it. (I'm going to try this one out tomorrow)
