Orchestrator Changing the File Path in Excel Application Scope

Hello,

I have a simple excel application scope activity that creates a new file since the file path provided doesn’t yet exist. The path provided and logged is, C:\Users\XXXX\OneDrive - XXXX\Documents\UiPath\FX Rates\Output\FX Rates.xlsx. However, when I run the process through Orchestrator, the file path changes to C:\Users\XXXX\OneDrive - XXXX\Documents\UiPath\FX Rates\Output\94925580, and I get the log below.

Excel Application Scope - Daily FX Rate File: Microsoft Excel cannot access the file ‘C:\Users\XXXX\OneDrive - XXXX\Documents\UiPath\FX Rates\Output\94925580’. There are several possible reasons: • The file name or path does not exist. • The file is being used by another program. • The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.

I see there possible reasons for the error, but I don’t see how they make sense since the file does not yet exist and should be created.

Any help is appreciated!
