puzzled with script syntax error

I am puzzled at what's going on...

I am trying to read a file from disk and put its
content into a FileMaker Pro database. But I get an
error on the syntex and have no idea what is wrong.
Please help!

Chunk of Script:

set fileRef to alias "Macintosh HD:
Users:sharon:file1.txt"
open for access fileRef
set _result to (read fileRef)
close access fileRef

When trying to save the script in FileMaker's 'Specify
Applescript' window, I get error:
'Expected ", " but found ideentifier. (Error -2741).'
with the word 'fileRef' in '(read fileRef)'
highlighted.

Thanks in advance,
Sharon
