Default Get external data - how to stop table list from being displayed on connect?

Hello,

I am trying to use Excel's get external data feature to view a
Mainframe DB2 table using ODBC connection. How can I get MSQuery to
stop tyring to show me all the tables that exists upon connecting to
database? The problem is, Mainframe DB2 has more than 500,000
tables/views defined and connection just dies before it can bring back
the list. The table of interest to me itself is small and I'd like to
code the SQL directly.

Thanks

P Adhia
