SQL Server UID Permissions and JDBC

Question

I'm using Netbeans 5.5.1 on my local PC and have created a connection to a remote SQL server using IP. I have followed the JDBC driver installation (as obtained from the Microsoft site) and I have even connected to the remote database in my Netbeans IDE using an account "imsteam". All appears okay with the connectivity....except...
With the account "imsteam", that I use to remotely connect to the database server...I can only see tables and stored procedures that were created by the user "imsteam". All other tables and stored procedures have been created/owned by "dbo", which I know exist, but I can't see them in my "run-time" window in Netbeans.
I have had our DBA check the permissions on the SQL server itself, and "imsteam" account has access to all tables and stored procedures, but I still can't see them through the JAVA netbeans IDE.
Is there some little "gotcha" that I need to be aware of when using netbeans so I can see these tables and procedures. Any advice, or references to articles specifically on account permissions with netbeans would be appreciated.

hi shilohcity,
i did have some problem when i updated my sql server to sp3. The driver i was using.., Atinav's aveConnect3, didn't connect and was throwing exceptions. But after contacting their tech support, they provided me with an updated version, which they had released recently, and that solved the problem. I now believe that with that support, what i paid for that driver was worth it.'cos I would've been kept waiting for the updates if i was using some free driver with poor tech support.
see these links..

I do think this is some problem that could be solved by the driver vendors. the M$ 's TDS version is still a mystery as far as i know. and the driver should communicate with sql server using this TDS protocol. I dont know, may be SP3 would've introduced updates in the TDS protocol.. and the drivers should be able to support it, or new updated versions released.
It can happen in future too... M$ may change their stance anytime.. better be wise in choosing your DB Server and even be more careful while chosing JDBC drivers.
cheers,
