I also had this problem. I used information from link, mentioned above, and found quick solution. If you have different schema, lets say test, and create user utest, owner of schema test and among views in schema test you have view vTestView, based on tables from schema dbo, while selecting from it you'll get error mentioned above - no access to base objects. It was enough for me to execute statement

ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON test.vTestView TO dbo;

which means that I change an ownership of vTextView from schema it belongs to (test) to database user dbo, owner of schema dbo. After that without any other permissions required user utest will be able to access data from test.vTestView
