can't make document

Hi,

I'm sure that there is someting basic that I'm not getting right, but I can't
seem to get the read function or the open for access of the standard additions
dictionary to work for me. Previously, I've set a variable as a file
reference, and I've verified that everything is in order, but when I do say
"open for access (file reference)", I get the message "can't make document
file FILENAME of folder FOLDER of disk DISK".

I don't know what this message means since the file exists already and I'm not
trying to make it. Is the script trying to make a file? All I want to do is
open a text file and scan a few lines, and return a few values.

any suggestions?

thanks,
wes
