I am an administrator of users, not the program / database
modifier.

I have an existing table to which grants have been added all
working fine.

The programmer has added a new column to the table. I am
getting the error "general error no. permission for
read/select access to COLUMN ACTION_TYPE

I have tried adding update / reference access to this
individual column. Also i have tried revoking all access
from the user & from the roles to start a fresh but I am
receiving this error.

Helen - I have your book but was unable to find a solution.

Any help would be great.
