System cannot find the path specified

We changed the output folder location for a csv file. Since then we keep getting the error "The system cannot find the path specified" even though we are sure that is a valid path and was working before we changed the location. Anyone ever experience this?

We resolved it by overriding the path that the Alteryx file selection wizard had (which was written correctly) with pasting the path in the address bar instead and that fixed the problem. What do you mean by converting the path to UNC?

UNC is Uniform Naming Convention. Basically it removes relative paths (like custom mapped folders/drives) and replaces with their real name.

After you've built and saved your workflow, click: Options --> Advanced Options --> Workflow Dependencies --> All UNC.

Usually when this has happened, it's something that I've missed. Spelling, capitalization, file extension, etc. There's something wrong with the path.

@MRioux Is the path a mapped network drive? If so, remember you must always convert paths to UNC.
