Object Browser in Query Analyzer

In Test environemnt user has access to DB1, they log in and in the drop down
box of DB names is DB1 but it does not appear in the object browser.
In Dev environemnt I do the same thing and the user can see DB1 in object
Browser.

This is driving me nuts, any help or advice appreciated

Thanks

ObjectBrowser uses sp_MShasdbaccess, so your security settings are not
identical between your two environments, maybe you are a sysadmin in one
case?

This is the proc so you can see the underlying query.

Gert,

Thanks a lot Gert, that helped.  I saw the owner was null v sa  I changed
the null to sa and restored that one but still the same.  Do i need to
reboot, stop/start, etc?

Again, many thanks.
