tell application "TextEdit" to open fileAlias
if it cannot open the file, perhaps because of permissions, should return an error (number and description) to the script. It does not report an error to the script, but posts a dialog to the manual user.
I've been trying variations on this theme and found that I could fix this problem for some applications with this ...
try tell application "TextEdit" activate open fileAlias --> error = -1700 end tell on error errText number errNr activate me "Open error = " & errNr & return & errText tell me to display dialog the result return end try
Notice that fixing the problem simply requires telling "TextEdit" to activate . I don't know why this works, it just does. This may work with other applications, but it does not work with the Finder.
The problem with the Finder is a totally different problem which I will describe in a new thread.
