Are your access databases using the security file for logging in originally?
What appears to have happened is that you have now directed the viewer to use security, however the default user (normally Admin) probably hasn't got priviledge to read the table(s) the viewer wants.
You appear to have two options;
1) Set security in the system file to allow Admin (or whoever) enough access privelidges,
2) Find the ini file for the viewer and scan for an entry containing System.mdw.

Hope this helps!
