Well there's another way you could do it:
tell app "Finder" to open file filePath using application file id "text"
You did verify that 'filePath' contains the correct path to the file, yes?
TextEdit is an OSX app I wasn't aware that it had a creator type. I'll give
it a shot. Again I state I have no problem launching TexyEdit just opening
my document after it's launched. Yes I have verified that filePath is the
full file path and is correct.

filePath is a string containing the complete file path surrounded by quotes.
Surrounded by quotes???
Yes like this: "Macintosh HD:Desktop Folder:My Folder:My File". Maybe
surrounded by quotes was a bit cryptic, maybe I should have used some other
description but I'm not sure how to phrase that. The examples I saw used
<open file "full path names" so that's how I built the var. This same var
works for a slightly different script when my app is run in classic mode to
open SimpleText and it works perfectly.
