Access failing to custom table on portal database

Hello,

I have an application which tries to connect to a custom DB table defined inside the Portal DB. I am using SQL database. The application uses a JNDI lookup to JDBC Connection service. However it gives the folowing exception while running a SQL query on the custom table,

  SQLException::The SQL statement "SELECT COUNT(*) "ROWCOUNT" FROM "<Z Table Name>"" contains the semantics error[s]:  - 1:34 - the table or view >><Z Table Name><< does not exist.

I can connect and execute a SQL using the same defualt DSN on any of the standard Portal Tables like, ume_strings

Any ideas where its failing for the custom table??

thank you !
