If you import data using the user interface, data from a Web query or a text query is imported as a QueryTable object, while all other external data is imported as a ListObject object.

If you import data using the object model, data from a Web query or a text query must be imported as a QueryTable, while all other external data can be imported as either a ListObject or a QueryTable.

You can use the QueryTable property of the ListObject to access the RefreshStyle property.

Example

This example adds a query table to Sheet1. The RefreshStyle property adds rows to the worksheet as needed, to hold the data results.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Dim qt As QueryTable
Set qt = Sheets("sheet1").QueryTables _
    .Add(Connection:="Finder;c:\myfile.dqy", _
        Destination:=Range("sheet1!a1"))
With qt
    .RefreshStyle = xlInsertEntireRows
    .Refresh
End With
