Why do I get a table read error in DB Tools Execute Query.vi

Question

Hello all,
I am using LV8 and the database connectivity toolkit.  I can connect to my server database and use the "DB Tools List Tables.vi" to pull the list of tables in the database, but when I try to use an sql command into "DB Tools Execute Query.vi" I get a : Error -2147217911 occurred at Conn Execute.vi->DatabaseTest2.vi message.  In the possible reasons it says : Possible reason(s):
Exception occured in Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Record(s) cannot be read; no read permission on 'tblShopOrders'. in Conn Execute.vi->DatabaseTest2.vi
I can open and edit this table with MSAccess.
Any ideas as to the cause of this error?

Hey Andy,
Since my first post I have discovered a bit more (not enough yet).  Firstly, I can access all of the tables using MSAccess (causing me to assume that I have the necessary permissions).  I am using the "DB Tools Execute Query.vi" with an SQL query and "DB Tools Fetch Recordset Data.vi" objects to try to get data.  I don't get an error when connecting to the database, but the error occurs at the execute query vi.  The database has a large number of tables, and I discovered that I can retrieve data from some of them using the above method.  I looked into the user and group permissions in the MS access security settings and found that the permissions were checked for all of the tables that I could open, and not for the rest.  I checked them on the ones I want to open, but this didn't help.  I went back into Access and made sure that they were still checked and they were.  And that's as far as I have gotten so far.
Thank you for any help that you can provide.
