Dynamic input with text file

I run a script to save an email attachment daily to a specific folder (same location as workflow), the attachment is a .txt file. However when I try to put in the file using the dynamic input tool I get an error "file not found". I'm pretty new to Alteryx and might definitely be missing something. 

I have attached my workflow and screenshots

Hi @Misslady,

 

I didn't test it but it looks like your formula was missing .txt part. I have added the bolded part

 

[Path Name]+DateTimeFormat(DateTimeToday(),"%Y-%m-%d")+"$DATA.MOQUEUE.ACHREPT.txt"

Thank you, such an easy thing to overlook.
