"This workbook contains links to one or more external sources that could be unsafe."

I'm getting this error in my one workbook. I've had it before and been able to fix it, but now nothing seems to work. I just can't find where the external reference is.

I've tried File->Check for Issues, Data->Edit Links, Data->Existing Connections, Data -> Queries & Connections, and searching for *xl*, my name (as it would be on my drive), forward and backslashes, and the source name, but nothing comes up.

When I use Edit Links it tells me what the file is, where it's located, but it won't let me break the link, and even knowing /where/ it links to I still can't find that link anywhere in my workbook. (It tells me the file name is Product Export, but if I search for Product and/or Export no link shows up)

If it was a personal workbook I'd just turn off the notification, but this is a project that is going to be passed around the office.


I tinkered, I googled, nothing worked, so now I turn to you folks and hope someone has an idea I missed.
