Reading the MSysObjects table in MS Access

[mcklsn]

I am trying to read the MSysObjects table in MS Access in a JSP, but I get an error saying I don't have permission. How do I go about getting permission to read this table? I'm pretty new at this and I don't have a clue as to how to handle this problem. I am including the short test program I'm using to figure out how to do what I want to do. Eventually, I want to query the MSysObjects table to see if a certain table exists in the DB. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

<%
String sqlTestForTable = &quot;SELECT Name, type FROM MSysObjects where MSysObjects.Name = \&quot;Table1\&quot; and type = 1&quot;;
%>
<%= sqlTestForTable %>
<%
try {
String driverName = &quot;sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver&quot;;
String connectionURL = &quot;jdbcdbc:Commodities&quot;;
String userName = null;
String password = null;
Class.forName(driverName);
out.println(&quot;<br>Before conn <br>&quot;
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionURL, userName, password);
out.println(&quot;After conn<br>&quot;
Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
out.println(&quot;Before exec<br>&quot;
statement.execute(sqlTestForTable);
out.println(&quot;After Exec<br>&quot;
ResultSet rs = statement.getResultSet();
ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();
int numCol = rsmd.getColumnCount();
out.println(&quot;<tr>&quot;
if (rs.next())
{
System.out.println(&quot;Table found<br>&quot;
}
else
{
System.out.println(&quot;Table not found<br>&quot;
}
rs.close();
statement.close();
connection.close();
}
catch (Exception e ) {
out.println(&quot;<br> had this problem: &quot; + e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
}
%>

It seems to have a problem with the statement:

statement.execute(sqlTestForTable);

Again, thanks.
