permissions to delete MSysObjects

[Guest]

how can I have a permission to delete a MSysObject? I tried changing
permissions of users, owners and groups, but nothing helped. I simply want
to delete a few tables. I have this problem on a MS Access Database Windows
2000 Version, and I have the 2007 Beta version of the application itself

You cannot. Why do you think you need to? You should turn off the option to
see system tables and just forget that they are even there.

Ben,
I don't detect any "sarcastic" tone in Rick's question. He was simply trying
to ascertain why you thought deleting a system table might be necessary.

Rick,

The question was probably not right. I do not want to delete a
MSysObject. That was actually the message which popped-up when i
wanted to delete a normal (I repeat, a normally created table) not a
systems' table. However, I found the solution. I changed the
permissions under the administrator and it worked. Case closed. For
all others thanks; and Rick never intent to be a tutor; your
sarcastic reverse question "Why do you think you need to" is not
welcome.

I fail to see anything the slightest bit sarcastic about that question. When
someone indicates they are having trouble accomplishing something that should
not be accomplished it is perfectly reasonable to ask for their reasoning behind
the attempt.

Hi, Ben.

As a full-fledged member of the Sarcasm Brigade, I can say it would not be wise
for Rick to quit his day job, as he wouldn't win us any points for our team. As
for you, Ben, would you care for some cheese . . . ?

Hey! I resent that remark. I can be just as sarcastic as the next guy ;-)

ahem...

Ben, I apologize. It was wrong of me to assume that you wanted to delete the
MSysObjects table just because you posted with a subject of "permissions to
delete MSysObjects". In the future I will endeavor to probe the true meaning of
posted questions without relying solely on their textual content.

(how was that?)

Excellent!

Pretty good . . . for the first day on the job. I suppose you want to talk
salary? ;-)

I have no desire for monetary compensation.

You'll have to take that up with the Complaint Department. I just work here.
