I take it you're referring to queries on the system tables?? (sysobjects,
et. al..)
Your message was decidedly unclear. How were you accessing the metadata
before?

If you were making direct queries on the system tables in 6.5 then you'll
need to rewrite your queries to cope with the new system tables. Although
I'd certainly recommend you using the views on top of the system tables
instead of the system tables isntead. See books online for more info on
the new system table views.
