Two things come to mind.
1) Do you have the necessary permissions to access the schema table 'party'
is in?
2) How was the name for 'party' originally entered? It could be a case
sensitive problem. See
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/sql-syntax-lexical.html
Section 4.1.1 for a complete explanation. Basically if the table name was
entered with quotes in a form other than 'party' then selecting for 'party'
will result in the error above.
