Why do I only see SYS and INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables? Access 2007 ODB to SQL Server 2008

Question

I was finally able to create my ODBC connection but now when I go to External Data > ODBC > LINK TABLES using my ODBC connection in Access 2007 I get a huge list of tables such as

INFORMATION_SCHEMA.CHECK_CONSTRAINTS

INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS

INFORMATION_SCHEMA.DOMAINS

etc.....

and a whole bunch of

sys.all_columns

sys.all_objects

sys.all_parameters 

etc...

the only tables that i really need are tables such as

dbo.users

dbo.stats

dbo.customers

etc...

but none of those tables are on the list of table that I am able to choose from to link.

Does anyone know why I can't see or link to the DBO tables I need?

(by the way i created a new user login in order to create my ODBC connection)

Answer 1

Thanks to Jimbo and Shark's comments I was able to fix my problem by adjusting the permission for the tables I wanted to see. I did not have SELECT permission on the tables so I was not able to see them. Once I added the SELECT permission to the tables I was then able to see my data perfectly.
