Hi Bill,

I doubt that the error has anything to do with the table not showing in the list.
The error means that there's value stored in one of rows that does not fit the field definition. Check Re: Provider cannot determine value Thread #1257211 Message #1257226, for example.

Did you try to run query aganst other 'hidden' tables?
