Problem querying SysObjects and SysIndexes

When executing a basic query against (see below) the system object
table in a SQL 2000 database it displays the following error.
SELECT 1 FROM SYSOBJECTS
Server: Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name 'SYSOBJECTS'.
The table does exist and the query is being run as an account with SQL
Admin privileges. This also occurs when trying to query the SysIndexes
table. Other databases on the server are able to query these tables.
What is causing this problem on this one database and how can it be
resolved?Some ideas.
1)Try SELECT 1 FROM sysobjects
2)Try SELECT 1 FROM dbo.sysobjects

Object name case sensitivity is determined by the database collation. I
suspect the following query will return a case-sensitive collation:
SELECT DATABASEPROPERTYEX(DB_NAME(), 'Collation')

Hope this helps.

I already thought of the suggestions that Jack posted, it was what Dan
has suggested a particular 3rd party database had been setup as case
sensitive.
