If you use special characters in the object name use it with square braces

Select columns from [DAY1(USDCHF1998)]

Also it is good not to use special characters.

You should really rely on using _ and - instead of () and /, they will just be a hassle. When using them in table/procedure/column/etc-names you *always* have to put [] around them and your bound to forget sometimes. And when using 3rd party tools like you are you can allready see the problems coming...
