Clearing a merged cell

[Jon Omar]

I'm writing a macro that needs to clear the contents of a merged cell.
I've given the cell (range) a name but when i try to execute the
statement;

Sheets("Sheetname").Range("Rangename").ClearContents

I get errormessage;

Cannot change a part of a merged cell.

I've tried naming the cell before and after merging with the same
restults. Help would be very much appreciated.

I like Bob's method better, but this works, too:

Worksheets("Sheetname").Range("Rangename").Value = ""
