What is a "visible table" with MS Query?

I keep getting problems with ADO where I can't se any tables in my workbook... which has a row of headers and distinct columns of data.

Sometimes I can get MS Query to recognize the tables by making the header rows bold. Sometimes that doesn't work.

Is there a way to force MS Query or any SQL routine to treat the source range as a table, no matter what it finds there?

EG:

Code:
szSQL = "SELECT * FROM [" & "Errors$" & "A1:J2" & "];"

The code claims not to find the table, even though I'm specifically telling it to grab this range of data.

Any ideas?
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
Sometimes I can use this MSDN bug report method to get "System Tables" to appear, and that solves the problem. But only sometimes.

This is a serious issue that I can't seem to permanently resolve.
