Is there a quick and dirty way to copy a few tables with some data from test to production? Just need to do it once and the servers are not linked or anything...

I don't think there's a really easy way. Creating tables should be no big deal, you can script them out. For the data, you could backup and restore the test database with another name on the production server and then use DTS or write a script to transfer the data. If you need to move very few tables you could use bcp and Bulk Insert to transfer the data using text files.
