Description:
Related tables and views are not being detected on Excel 2007 and 2010 (Excel 2013 works fine).

How to repeat:
1. Enable MySQL for Excel Plugin in MS Excel "Data" tab.
2. Import tables which share a relation to a third table ("sakila.actor" and "sakila.film").
3. The "Import Data" dialog will appear but the "Pick related Tables or Views" list will be empty.

Actual Results:
In Office 2013 the table "film_actor" is shown in the "Pick related Tables or Views" list.

Fixed some conditions in the code that was preventing relationships for selected tables and views (multi-selection) to be processed, so related tables and views were not found and listed.

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL for Excel 1.3.1 release, and here's the changelog entry:

When importing tables, the "Pick related Tables or Views" feature did not
function in Excel 2007 or Excel 2010, but did in Excel 2013.

Thank you for the bug report.
