Database filetype xlsx not supported fix #48

Not sure if anyone else has had this issue come up when trying to run this but here's what I did: Run the database update command as normal Rename the database file FROM .xls TO .xlsx Then use as online tool to convert it back into .xls format. Stupid I know. I used (https://www.zamzar.com/convert/xlsx-to-xls/) Save the file and replace your existing one and run the script as you normally would.

At least this worked for me. Maybe it'll help someone else out too.
