Well, to begin with, you are setting the Background query to both TRUE and
FALSE.

.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.BackgroundQuery = True<-----------------------here
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = True
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.PreserveColumnInfo = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False <----------------and here

Set either the .Backgroundquery property to TRUE or FALSE or , on the
..Refresh just add TRUE or FALSE - .Refresh False.
