Here are some snap shots of the output tool and app set up, since I can't share the whole workflow due to sensitive information.

Hey @james_swanson, in your Action tool when you 'Replace a specific string', you have left the entire filepath there, including the filanem and extension instead of just replacing the directory part. If you trim that down to just the part before \<Filename>.csv and give it another try that should help, like so:

In your case, you'd just remove \TEST_ODL.csv from that text box in the Action tool.
