Microsoft changed things around for Access 2007 (they have clearly never heard of the maxim: "If is ain''t broke, don't fix it!".
Try this...
1. Open your database in Access 2007.
2. Click the "Office button" in the upper left-hand corner and "Access Options" from the pop-up.
3. Click on "Current Database".
4. In the "Navigation" section, click on the "Navigation Options..." button.
5. In the lower left-hand corner of the "Navigation Options" pane, make sure "Show System Objects" is checked; then click "OK".
6. Click "OK" on the "Access Options" pane.
7. On the ribbon, click "Database Tools", then "Users and Permissions", then "User and Group Permissions".
8. In the "User/Group Name" window select "Admin" (if it is not already selected); then scroll the "Object Name" window until you come to the "MSysXXX" objects. Some of these already have "Permissions" boxes checked; leave them alone. Check the "Read Data" box for the others.
That ought to do it.
