You can use Application.StartupPath to get the path to the directory from which the application is being run. You can put the files to copy in this directory or in a subdirectory.
For example, if the files to copy are in a directory called "Files", under the same directory as the executable:

Dim FileCopyPath As String

FileCopyPath = Application.StartupPath & "\Files"

So for a file named "File1.txt", the string for the copy would be:

Dim FileToCopy As String

FileToCopy = FileCopyPath & "\File1.txt"
