SQL 2005, sysobjects and security



We have a reporting tool that needs to access sysobjects.
This tool is used by most of our users but now it does not work on SQL
Server 2005 as the security is different. Not even sa can see
sysobjects. What should I do to allow sa (or any other user) to access
sysobjects?

I searched the net, books online and I'm giving up.
I'm the only programmer within the company and I'm running out of time.

We don't have a dba person, all our SQL Servers 2005 were set up by a
contractor who left, and he was not dba either, his role was to put
software on our 12 servers.

Thanks

MH
