The table it can't find is probably the system table which conatins names of forms and other info about the form. There are SQL scripts which come with Forms 3.0 which create views of these tables and grant access to them. If you are using a system which has a DBA, you should ask him/her to give you access rights. If you are on your own, I believe there are instructions for doing this in the installation guide but I can't lay my hands on a copy of it right at the moment.
