Get external data--results in range that can't convert to table

I'm pulling multiple tables from SQL Server into Excel.

When you do this manually through Data > Connections, Excel will convert the data results into a table, using the new 2007 structured references. This is what I want.

But I'm creating the tables automatically through VBA because I need to tweak the SQL code for each table, and the easiest way to do this seems to be through VBA.

When I create the table with the VBA code, the results come in as a named range. Not the new table method. When I go to manually convert the ranges to tables, Excel won't let me.

Can this be done?

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
