Access 2003 - Could Not read Definitions ; No Read Definitions

So I've come across a complicated Paradox.
I am the owner and admin of Database A.
However, When I try to open this one certain table in Database A - I get the following :

Could Not Read Definitions; No read permissions for table....

So I checked the Tools - Security and that is the only Table where all Permissions were unchecked.

How could that happen?

The problem is , Now I can't get delete it or recreate it... or even Export it.. Since there are no permissions defined, Eventhough I AM the admin.
The Admin needs Admin permissions that he can't give himself.

Any Suggestions?

This is a shot in the dark, but have you tried opening the database while holding down the Shift key (keep it held down until the database is completely loaded). I do this a lot with databases that have already been converted to .accde format for instance; it might have an impact on what you can do with the permissions.

Just a thought...

I tried that as well.

In the end, I had to re-name the Table.

I still can't find the root cause for it's occurrence.
