[AS] Close database not working for me

[M Young]

VAPP example works to create and close database.

However when I try to create then close database with full pathname,  
only the create portion works. The close is probably failing because of  
the \ marks that are coming from somewhere. The problem appears to be  
strictly an AppleScript issue, since I get the problem when trying to  
close files with other applications. I will continue to look for an  
answer.
