I'm trying to call one macro using a macro in a different workbook.

Both workbooks are open when I execute the macro.

I'm using the syntax:
Application.Run "MacroBook!MacroName"

The error I get is Run Time Error 1004: Cannot run the macro 'macrobook!macroname' The macro may not be available in this work, or all macro may be disabled.

I've tried a number of tweaks to try to make this work and I just can't figure out what I'm missing.

As always, any help is extremely appreciated!

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
Possibly:
Application.Run "MacroBook.xls!MacroName"

Is that it?

tried that (though for me it was .xlsm because i'm using 2010 and it's a macro enabled workbook)

Hmmm. Strange. Works here. Is the workbook in a trusted location?
