Modelbuilder- Dissolve Error- "New ArcInfo Workspace"

Question

I have a model set-up that asks for the user to input the workspace location ("Output geodatabase")...that works fanastically..

however...I get an error with the Dissolve tool.  I have the dissolve output set to: "\%Output Geodatabase"&\Dissolved" and I continually get a pop-up window the says "New ArcInfo Workspace"

I only get this error with the dissolve tool- any ideas on how to fix this???

That worked for me too!  Not sure why, but it did. Thanks Tyler!

I had the same problem with the Near Analysis tool, but in Python.

Long story short, my working gdb path was set to raw string instead of unicode:

#does not work
Working_gdb = r"E:\Data\Projects\Temp\WorkspacePy\Working.gdb\" 
#works!
Working_gdb = u"E:\Data\Projects\Temp\WorkspacePy\Working.gdb\"

Assigning UNC Path to arcpy.env.workspace - Geographic Information Systems Stack Exchange
