Is there a way to get the Folder Path (i.e. "Public Folders/All Public
Folders/FolderName/Sub-FolderName") at execution time? I.e. is there a
built-in variable/constant that denotes this?

In Outlook 2002 and 2003, yes. In earlier versions, you have to walk the
hierarchy up from the folder in question.

Build the string from each folder's Parent.Name. The sample code for my book
(code downloadable from the link below) has it in listing 19.4.
