Why not just

Sub AAA()
Debug.print Range("A3").MergeArea.Address
End Sub

Absolutely no reason whatsoever. That is definitely a better option.

Pete,

You could try something like the following:

Sub AAA()
Dim MergeCell As Range
Dim OrigCells As Range
Set MergeCell = Range("A3")
With MergeCell.MergeArea
Set OrigCells = .Resize(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count)
End With
Debug.Print OrigCells.Address
End Sub

If somebody sends me a worksheet that contains merged cells, Is there
any way
for me to programmatically determine what the original component cells
were?
