Hello Luther,
the little script below worked as expected (on Snow Leopard) when I first selected a file on a USB stick and later unmounted the stick, giving a message about being unable to coerce the alias:
"Problem:\r„TextEdit“ hat einen Fehler erhalten: alias \"/Volumes/TH_FISCHER/solr.xml\" kann nicht in Typ alias umgewandelt werden. (-1700)"
So for an unmounted volume this seems to be OK. If I remove the right to read from the file, I get the result you described. With "Finder" instead of "TextEdit", I get
"Problem:\r„Finder“ hat einen Fehler erhalten: Das Volume „some object“ wurde nicht gefunden. (-35)"
for an unmounted device. And again, with insufficient privileges, a Finder message appears which isn't trapped by the script. With links to a disk image, my experience was that the Finder mounted the disk in a first try, but didn't find the file before a second try; after an appropriate delay the second try worked. property fileAlias : "" if fileAlias is "" then set fileAlias to choose file try tell application "TextEdit" to open fileAlias on error theErr number theNum display dialog "Problem:" & return & theErr & " (" & theNum & ")" end try
Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
