And therein lies your problem. You're asking TextEdit to open a string,
which makes no sense. You need to coerce the string to a file reference.
Fortunately this is easy to do:
tell application "TextEdit"
open file filePath
end tell
Andrew, thank you for your reply. I tried your code without luck. I'm
calling this AppleScript from a compiled Application and am not getting any
error feedback. A slightly different script does work for a Classic run (it
launches SimpleText instead of TextEdit) but this script only launches
TextEdit with an Untitled document in an OSX run. Is there any way I can
display error codes or other info from the script so I can glean what this
problem is? Are there any other issues that are specific to OSX and
AppleScript that I should be aware of?
Thanks,
Craig
