Your answer wasn't particularly helpful.
Who cares whether it HAS TO BE in a Finder tell block? It worked flawlessly
in Jaguar and stopped working in Panther. In fact, these scripts worked
flawlessly under OS 9 as well. I just re-saved them to run under Jaguar.
'Never had an error from them before. But the day that I upgraded to Panther
ALL of them (22 scripts) just started returning that error.
If I made an error in the script then I and everyone who I've ever seen use
"mount volume" before has been doing it wrong forever. If you do a Google
search for <"mount volume" applescript> you will find hundreds of examples
that look just like my scripts.
Anyway, just to see if it was the Finder tell block that caused the problem,
I removed the Finder tell block and got the same error 80. Meanwhile "open
location" works the same as always whether in a Finder tell block or not.

1.9.2 Release Notes about mount volume, but have you checked the Dictionary?
The dictionary entry is exactly the same as it was under OS 9/AS 1.8.3 where
the same scripts work just fine.
Ordinarily I admire your expertise Paul -- but I think that you managed to
TOTALLY ignore the substance of my question and just sent the standard
newbie lecture on checking the dictionary. This is a serious issue and I'm a
little offended at your simplistic response.
Would someone else please answer this question:
***
Has anything changed in AS 1.9.2/Panther that would explain why "mount
volume" no longer works as it did under previous versions of the Mac OS? If
not, then is anyone aware of an application-conflict that might prevent
"mount volume" from working where "open location" continues to work properly
as in the following bits of code:
mount volume "afp://192.168.1.101/Volume One"
[Worked under Jaguar. Now it fails with error type 80]
and
open location "afp://192.168.1.101/Volume One"
[Brings up the appropriate server dialog]
***
At this point, I've already changed all of my scripts to "open location" so
the question is moot as to my existing scripts. Nevertheless, I think its
important to find the answer for future reference.
