Can't query attached database

Hello.
I received a detached database/log from my client. I attached the
database to my SQLServer 2000 SP3 installation just fine. In the
enterprise manager I can query any table I want.
However, when I attempt to query a table via the query analyzer, it
always fails, even though I am logged in as the "sa".
Below is my query and the result. I am not having this trouble with any
other database on the system.
select * from employee
Below is the error message:
Server: Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name 'employee'.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Christian

What have you done with God's gift?Is there really a table called employee? Are you in the right database? Who is the owner of that table?

Yes, I can view it in the enterprise manager.

Yes, I've even used the "use" command to make sure, on occassion.

The owner of the table is "dbo".
When I look under the db's users, "dbo" is a name entry, "sa" is the
login name and access is "permit".|||Try:
SELECT * FROM dbname.dbo.employee. Also, the server might be case-sensitive, make sure you use proper case.

OK, apparently there is not a database table called "employee", but
there is one called "EMPLOYEE". I don't ever remember table name case
being an issue when performing a querying before. I normally uppercase
key words and lowercase table names. Is this a setting in my SQL Server
that I accidentally set?

What have you done with God's gift?|||Case sensitivity for object names is based on the database collation (if my memory serves me).

If that per database file or per server? How would I turn off database
collation if I wanted to? I really appreciate all the help on this.
