Excel 2013 File With Data Connections Crashes On Save

Hi,

I created a file with 20+ data connections to a PostgreSQL server using Excel 2013. I am on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.

Everything was fine with the file at the end of the week. When I tried opening the same file today, Excel crashes when I go to save it. I made no changes to the file before saving it. I just opened it and attempted to save. I was afraid this would happen because I had this same problem before. I copied the details of the crash below:

May have found a solution, pending any other issues I find.

I deleted some of my tabs that had most of the data connections. I then checked my connection settings and saw 2 orphaned queries that were no longer being used. After removing those, I was able to save again.
