When I add a linked server from SQL 2000 to Oracle 9i I get an OLE DB error. Is there something I need to do, after creating the link and adding the serve login, to make it work?

What is the error You are getting ?
Do You have Oracle Client or Oracle Instant Client installed ?

You might want to try the Instant Client. (much smaller footprint)
