Problem with VBA statement in Outlook

I'm trying to write some code that will help me keep track of files
that have been sent to me as attachments (Outlook 2000).

There is a piece of code I found on line, and I was confident that I
could modify it to do as I wanted. However, it keeps stopping on one
line.

Here's what I have so far. It is based on a routine at this page:

http://www.fontstuff.com/outlook/oltut01.htm

The way I often write code is, I write the comments describing how the
program should work. Then I write the code in between.

===========

Sub SummarizeAttachments()

' This Outlook macro checks the current Outlook folder for messages
' with attached files (of any type) and saves a summary to disk.

On Error GoTo SummarizeAttachments_err
' Declare variables
Dim ns As NameSpace
Dim thisFolder As MAPIFolder
Dim Item As Object
Dim Atmt As Attachment
Dim FileName As String
Dim i As Integer
Set ns = GetNamespace("MAPI")

' The next line is from the web site mentioned above.

Set thisFolder = ns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)

' It executes without error. But it's not what I want.
' Instead, I want this:

Set thisFolder = ns.CurrentFolder

' But this line crashes every time. Why?

Because the Namespace object has no child CurrentFolder object. (The object

Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder.
