Error when calling Excel macro from C #

I am trying to call a macro from an Excel file using C# 4.5. My version of Excel is 2010.

When I try to call a macro, I get the following error:

Cannot run the macro 'MacroName'. The macro may not be available in this workbook or all macros may be disabled.

I searched a lot for this, but nothing really works.

I opened macro security, as shown in the following screenshot:

Macro Security

The code I use is as follows:

Excel.Application book = null;
Excel.Workbooks workbooks = null;
Excel.Workbook macroWorkbook = null;
Excel.Workbook destinationWorkbook = null;

try
{
    book = new Excel.Application();

    workbooks = book.Workbooks;
    macroWorkbook = workbooks.Open(@"D:\Work\Macros.xls");
    destinationWorkbook = workbooks.Open(@"D:\Work\Destination.xlsx");

    book.Run("MacroName");

    macroWorkbook.Close(false);
    destinationWorkbook.Close(true);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    throw ex; // the finally will be executed before this is thrown
}
finally
{
    book.Quit();

    System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(macroWorkbook);
    System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(destinationWorkbook);
    System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(workbooks);
    System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(book);

    macroWorkbook = null;
    destinationWorkbook = null;
    workbooks = null;
    book = null;
}

The actual macro is saved in Macros.xlsand will work on Destination.xslx. When I run this macro in itself Excel, there is no problem.
