modify read access in system tables for access 2007

So i am attempting to open an mdb file in oracle sql developer, however i am getting this error:

No read access to system tables. modify acces开发者_如何学Gos db before retrying.

I understand that this means i need to go into the system tables in access and modify them to be able to be read by oracle. I've found an article on how to do this, but it seems to be for access 2003...I've included the link incase anyone ever needs it.

What i would like to know is how to go about viewing the system tables and then changing permission in access2007?

Any help of suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I figure this may be a problem for other people so i figured i would post the solution for others.

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.

here is the link to where i found the answer....
