I didn't realize the root problem until just now – but this issue just cost me a half-a-day. In our Oracle we have several versions of the same database – so several tables of the same names across several named tablespaces.
When importing from the same ODBC connection as SQLyog MS Access and other ODBC tools limit the tables to one table space. But (feature or bug) SQLyog shows them all to me in one long list. I spent the morning repeatedly selecting and importing the wrong PERMIT_INFO table and banging my head. Many were available in the import list (which I didn't realize) without me able to tell which table space they were in, or limiting the table space to just one. Let me know if you need more information.
