VBA Path Not Found

I want to look in a folder and pull a list of all the files in that folder.
I found a snippet of code that does this and it sometimes works and sometimes not.
I think the issue may be because I need the path to be relative.
Here's the bit of relevant code.  I get a 'path not found' runtime error on the last line.
The path in StrLoc is "..\Analysis & Testing\Analysis Reports\"

Dim oFSO As Object
Dim oFolder As Object
Dim oFile As Object

StrLoc = "..\" & Right(StrLoc, n) & "\Analysis Reports\"
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set oFolder = oFSO.GetFolder(StrLoc)

Help would be appreciated.  I cannot use a fixed path string as it changes depending on the user.
But I can say that the Excel file this is in is inside Analysis & Testing and so Analysis Reports is therefore a subfolder and this structure will always be the same.
Thanks!

Using Environ$, you can create a complete path to the folder without knowing the user name. Something like:
DocPath = Environ$("USERPROFILE") & "\Documents"
StrLoc = DocPath & "\Analysis Reports\"

Oh yeah.
I didn't think of that.  
So I guess I just grab the activeworkbook path on the fly and stick the subfolder name on the end.
Thanks for the suggestion.  I'll just check that works for our needs...
