I've got a model that has several string input variables that I'd like to use as initial model dialogue text inputs but I can't seem to get it to work. If I "edit" the model and supply the variable values for each of the blue variable bubbles and then run the model from within an edit session, it works fine. When I close out the edit session and try to open/run the model by first filling in the dialogue for the two variables I get the following error: "ERROR 000110: GIS.%variable1%%variable2% does not exist."
String Variable 1 (incident name) and string variable 2 (incident date) are used for the output name of the output feature class that I want to create using a merge tool. So the output feature class name would be "gis.incidentblabla7_14_16".
What's the trick to getting modelbuilder to play nice with that open dialogue and model variables?
Hi Royce,
Could you attach a toolbox with your model in it so we could have a look?

if you model inputs don't have a P denoting a parameter, then you will have issues ... see the example and description here
I have modeled the three variables as parameters. When I open the model, the input dialogue comes up and I'm able to enter the parameters values, but when I execute the model I get the above error.
Trying to figure out how to attach the toolbox.
zip it if there is more than one file... actually just zip it since they are acceptable attachments
Ok, I've moved the toolbox to an fgdb and zipped it. See my OP for attached zip.
