Unable to open archive for zipping error message on output tool

I am receiving an "unable to open archive for zipping"  and  "the system cannot find file path specified" errors on all of my output tools in a workflow.  I am using a formula to create a filename and then changing entire file path to that filename I created.  I ran this workflow before and it worked, but now I am changing the file path and it will not work.  I checked the file path several times and even copied it in but still received the error.  Any help would be appreciated!

I would recheck the path - for example, check the double period you have for the relative pathing in the Formula. Otherwise, you could confirm the path is correct by just making it absolute for testing in the Formula and then converting to relative afterwards.

Try using the full path rather than ..\..
