Kevin - You might be specifying a database link that doesn't exist. The connection string in the database link might be incorrect. The database link might be owned by a different user and not be public. Do you receive this message consistently every time you attempt to use the link, or is it intermittent?

And even though I get this error going from Database A to Database B, the link I have between Database B and Database A works fine.
