file location

Question regarding Visual Basic 6.0
I want to open various files in a specific directory.
The only way I have been able to open various files is to use the default directory
(directory where the VB program resides)

the following code works:
Dim players, score
Players = Inputbox(“Enter name of player”)
Open players for Append as #1
Write #1, score
Close #1

How can I create files in a directory other than the default directory ?
I’ve tried ChDir “C:\Database”), path = “c:\database” but neither worked.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
