Hi Niall,

We agree on this bit !

I have already checked the source code for the package extracted from
user_source line by line. It is not specifying AUTHID anywhere - as I
suspected. When I saw this, I became even more suspicious of what the
DBA was telling me (via a consultant - which adds to the confusion !).
>> 2. Have you checked for the existence of yet another object with the
same
>> name, IE a procedure owned by batch?
There is only a public synonym 'in' the batch user with the same name as
the package - nothing else.
I think we all agree that the DBA is fibbing when he says that packages are being used - they cannot be given the circumstances and what has been discovered. Getting further info is like getting a refund from the tax man (or getting England's cricketers to a winning position !) but I still have to support them.
Cheers,
Norm.
