Unable to extract attachments

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Included Forms, Included Modulo1.bas and also able to view Macro by 
pressing Alt+F8 
2. Created folder and assigned Const RootFolder = "C:\\Attachments\\2010\\"
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Attachment should have been extracted to target folder, instead I get an 
error code 76, path not found. The folder however does exist.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Outlook 2003, Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below.

I am not a big Macros expert, so would appreciate basic instructions if a 
solution is available

I was having the same problem and I tried setting RootFolder equal to a local 
and
network directory.  I suspect it has to do with how my IT dept configures PCs.  
When
I changed from using a directory path like s:\outlookattachments to using the
\\networkdrive\outlookattachments format it started working.  However, I had to 
tweak
some of the backslashes in the code so that the hyperlinks would work.  

Hope that helps.

Pleas check for "[" and "]" illegal characters in message bodies.
Replace in the macro this line:
    invalidChars = Array("\", "/", ":", "*", "?", """", "<", ">", "|", "…", "#")

by this line:
    invalidChars = Array("\", "/", ":", "*", "?", """", "<", ">", "|", "…", "#", "[", "]")
