ModelBuilder Output Names Issue

[RobertScruggs]

I have a model that creates some output buffers and lines, and adds the initials as a parameter value to the end of the output name. The model works perfectly within modelbuilder, but when I run it out of the toolbox, the output names are combinations of all the tools that have ran. I can not figure this out, Help please!

Set your output as a parameter (right click the data element / set as parameter). Then you can specify the output dataset name when you run the model as a tool.

That will work, but I want to keep it as simple as possible, that's why I have the initials added to all of the outputs. I just don't understand why it is changing the output names from what they say they are in the model. Like I said it works when run from within modelbuilder, but not when run outside.

Robert, if you could post your model to the thread that may help us figure out what's going on here.
