[VAPP] Major Bug Regarding Accessing Baseobject

[Ken Ray]

It turns out that somewhere way back 20 or so builds ago, those tables
were OK. But my question remains... why did VAPP and Valentina act this
way? (BTW: The error was "ExpectedBONotFound" when I tried to query it
from my program.) If nothing else, it should have shown up in the
Diagnose Database/BaseObject commands...
