Merging cell using VB for Excel

[Carrie_Loos via OfficeKB.com]

I have this code that someone helped me with and it works great except the
message "The selection contains multiple data values. Merging into one celll
will keep the upper left most data only" message. I have to answer "OK" in
order for the code to continue to loop. Does anyone know a way to get around
this in the code?

Sub MergeCells()

ActiveCell.Activate
RowCount = ActiveCell.Row

ColCount = 1

Do While Cells(RowCount, ColCount) <> ""

If Cells(RowCount, ColCount) = 1 Then

StartCol = ColCount
Data = 1

Do While Cells(RowCount, ColCount) = 1 And _
Cells(RowCount, (ColCount + 1)) = 1

ColCount = ColCount + 1
Data = Data & " 1"

Loop

Range(Cells(RowCount, StartCol), _
Cells(RowCount, ColCount)). _
MergeCells = True
Cells(RowCount, StartCol) = Data


On Error Resume Next


End If

ColCount = ColCount + 1
Loop

ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate

End Sub

Thanks
Carrie

Try wrapping the merging part of your code in

Application.EnableEvents = False
' merge here
Application.EnableEvents = True

I'm probably wrong, but I think you could use the following (which may be
what JP meant? -- or will they both work?):

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
<merge here>
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

That's what I meant, had my wires crossed.

Thx,
