FAIL: MacScript replacement for GetOpenFileName

Question

After looking around a bit, I found a number of forums/sites that tout a MacScript() replacement for Application.GetOpenFileName(). They all appear to have originated with this:

As far as it goes, the script works. The problem is this only works with .xls files (com.microsoft.Excel.xls). I have found no documentation saying if there are other identifiers for .xlsx, .xlsb, etc. It seemed logical to try com.microsoft.Excel.xlsx but that doesn't work. Anyone know how to make it work with recent file types?

Mac OS 10.6

Office 2011 (with all latest updates)

Take a look at item 5 just under the code in the link that you posted - it tells you exactly what format code(s) to use...
