Well it is working now but I am not sure what I was doing wrong. (hate that)
Just so I am clear on this, to close the file do I want to use

close access file "Users:jpkelly:Library:Application Support:mover.prefs"

Or

close access fileRef

Or both?

I'm sure this is really basic, obviously I am quite a newbie.
