Object type not accessible. Please check permissions and make sure the object is not in development mode
You see this error text in Salesforce.

What to do
Some list view filters stop the Browse button. The error looks like this:
core.apexpages.exceptions.ApexPagesHandledException: Object type not accessible. Please check permissions and make sure the object is not in development mode: ... ERROR at Row:4:Column:18 line 4:18 no viable alternative at character '%'.
Change the filter on the list view. Filters with greater than or less than cause this error most often. For example, a filter that says a field is greater than blank fails. Change it to say the field does not equal blank. The list is the same, and Browse works.
Applies to
List Browse 3.0.x. This fix comes from the tested List Browse implementation guide.
