Summary: Is your Microsoft Access database constantly throwing errors, due to which the records cannot be read as there’s “no read permission”. These errors may appear due to database corruption. In this post, we will help you resolve a particular Access database error, the “MSysAccessObjects” error (where xxxx is the object name, and can be used either as a system object or user object).
Access database stores all information in MDB and ACCDB files, in the form of tables with proper segregation of data in columns & rows. A major cause of Access database corruption is damage in these tables. There are several system tables within Access database that collectively represent vital information about the database. Some of these system tables ? MSysAccessObjects, MSysRelationships, MSysACEs, MSysQueries, and MSysObject?are hidden from the users, meaning, the users cannot directly access them.
This lowers the chances of direct damage to them; however, reasons such as virus infection or bad sectors can still corrupt these tables, causing database errors.
One of the common errors with Access system tables is associated with a code identified as Error Code 3112 which runs the message? ?Record(s) cannot be read; no read permission on ?MSysAccessObjects?.
Why does Runtime Error 3112 occur?
Error Code 3112 ?MSysAccessObjects? usually occurs when end users try to open a corrupt MDB or ACCDB file with the help of Microsoft Access database. The error message ?Record(s) cannot be read, no read permission on ?MSysAccessObjects?? occurs if:
- The end users don?t have the necessary permissions to view the tables and data.
- The table or data stored within the tables are damaged or corrupted.
How to Resolve MS Access Database Error in MSysAccessObjects
If you are not able to access the MDB or ACCDB data files in Access database or facing ?MSysAccessObjects? error, here are some of the solutions:

Fix 2: Import Database Utility
Most of the times, creation of a new database and importing the objects one by one from the old database to a new database might help. Once you have imported all the objects, re-create the existing relationships. If you are not able to use ?Import Wizard? then you can make use of the following steps:
- Go to the database, and select the option ?Objects?. Then, move ahead to the option ?Pages?, and click ?New? tab.
- In the dialog box that appears, select the particular Existing Web page, and click on the same.
- Now, you are required to select the location for the given data access page.
Fix 3: Export the MS Access Table to the ASCII File

- Export the MS Access table to the ASCII file
- Delete the given table along with the associated relationships from the MS Access database
- Compact the database
- Re-create the MS Access table with the existing content
