open for access my_log
save as file my_log to (path to desktop) as "log.txt"

Compare the above with the below

----
set _TempFile to ((path to desktop) & "log.txt") as text
set _Text to "This file can not be opened by this program. Please try another format. Thank You!"

try
close access file _TempFile -- Make sure the file wasn't accidentally left open
end try

open for access file _TempFile with write permission
set eof file _TempFile to 0 -- clear the file contents
write _Text to file _TempFile starting at eof
close access file _TempFile
