Thanks for all the help, I am using Linux, so its not a Miktex problem.
I have found that changing my article class to amsart seems to work,
keeping everything else the same, except there is a problem with the
'acknowledgement' section which can be remedied by changing it into a
section. It appears document class revtex4 isn't compatible with natbib.
Thanks

I am sorry for still not getting it! I think the problem is I don't
actually have the agsm style, as I got this error in the .bgl file
I couldn't open style file agsm.bst
---line 148 of file FlexDraft14.aux
: \bibstyle{agsm
: }
So I tried the style plainnat (with natbib) and also harvard (the
.bst I got of the web) and both seemed to work ok, i.e. I get the
references alphabetical, but in the text references are still refered
to numerically instead of (author, year) which is the citation style
I selected. Please can anyone help?
I'm not sure what OS and LaTeX distro you are using, so I'll try to be
as generic as possible. First, open a shell/command window and run
'kpsewhich agsm.bst'. If it displays a path, then you have style and
something else is wrong, but I'm pretty sure you'll get a null
response. In that case, you need to install the harvard-latex
package. With MiKTeX, use the package manager to install the package
named 'harvard'. The package manager will automatically update the
file database. With TeXLive, install the texlive-bibtex-extra package
(using your Linux distro's package manager, such as Synaptic). I'm
pretty sure the installation script will automatically update the file
name database. All else failing, you can download the harvard-latex
package from CTAN
(http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/harvard/),
install it yourself, then manually update the file database (by
running texhash). Run 'kpsewhich agsm.bst' again just to be sure
things went well, then retry compiling your document.
HTH,
