problem with macro running ms query - external data ranges

I have set up a macro that runs several queries using MS Query. MS Query is hitting the AS/400 using ODBC. When I recorded the macro to run the query, I selected the Properties box that pops up after you have selected the query to run. From the properties box, I deselected the box that gives you the option to save the query definition. If you don't do this, after the query is done the query definition is saved in the range of cells populated by the query. I don't want the query definition saved because if it's saved I have trouble saving the worksheet.
For some reason, even though I recorded the macro to not save the query definition, it is saved when the macro is run. I can go back and delete the definition manually by right-clicking on a cell in the range of cells populated by the macro and deleting the external data range. However, this is a pain and if I forget to do it and have done other work I can't save the spreadsheet.

Any help on modifying the macro to remove the query definition would be greatly appreciated.
