list the tables in a database

Trying to get a list of all the tables in the .accdb database (2007-2016 format). Can't seem to find the MSysObjects table. Using UCanAccess

sql = "SELECT Name FROM MSysObjects WHERE Type = 1 AND Flags = 0";
ResultSet rs = queryChem(sql);

public static ResultSet queryChem(String sql) throws SQLException {
    Statement sChem = connChem.createStatement();
    ResultSet rsChem = sChem.executeQuery(sql);
    return rsChem;
}

private static void connectChem() {
    try {

        Class.forName("net.ucanaccess.jdbc.UcanaccessDriver");
        System.out.println("Driver loaded");

        String url = "jdbc:ucanaccess://chemdb.accdb";
        connChem = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
        System.out.println("Database Connected - CHEMS");

    } catch (Exception ex) {
        System.out.println("Error");
    }
}

net.ucanaccess.jdbc.UcanaccessSQLException: UCAExc:::3.0.6 user lacks privilege or object not found: MSYSOBJECTS at net.ucanaccess.jdbc.UcanaccessStatement.executeQuery(UcanaccessStatement.java:211)

You don't need to hit the [MSysObjects] table. You can get a list of tables via the DatabaseMetaData#getTables method, e.g., 

try (ResultSet rsMD = connChem.getMetaData().getTables(null, null, null, null)) {
    while (rsMD.next()) {
        String tblName = rsMD.getString("TABLE_NAME");
        System.out.println(tblName);
    }
}
