Default Use named table in workbook as source for pivot tbl in other workb

In Excel 2007 I have a table named BidBookData on Sheet 1 in Workbook A. I'd
like to create a pivot table in Workbook B that uses the data in the
BidBookData table in Workbook A as the source. Inside Workbook B when I try
to create the pivot table using Insert, Pivot Table,Use an external data
source, choose connection,browse for more...I can navigate to Workbook A but
it doesn't list BidBookData as a table in Workbook A. All it shows is
Sheet1. Is there any way to connect to a specified table? I know the table
exists in Workbookk A because I can see it listed as the table name under
Table Tools in Workbook A. Please help.
