AppleScript opening wrong Excel app

I have a script I have been using for years which positions an open
Excel file to the right screen. Now I have moved my 2nd screen to the
left, and AppleScript points to Windows Excel in Parallels Desktop and I
cannot see how to change it to where it should point: to my Mac Excel.

In Script Debugger it shows a runtime error: ~/Applications
(Parallels)/{03410e08-9dba-478d-9f7a-7e1e3c6699fb}
Applications.localized/Microsoft Excel.app

but I want the script to open: ~:Applications:Microsoft Office
2011:Microsoft Excel.app
- which it always did when it was positioning the worksheet on the right
screen.

The script I use is:

____________
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
	activate
	set window state of front window to window state normal
	set {width of front window, height of front window, left
	position of front window, top of front window} to {-1920, 137,
	-30, 1289}
	--      set bounds of active window to {2570, 125, 4460, 1325}
	activate
end tell
