Excel VBA Paste Error "...isn't the same size..." - vba

Question

NB: I'm brand new to VBA and code in general
I've attempted to make a macro that collates data from multiple workbooks and imports it into a master workbook ('ZMaster').
The following code successfully copies data from the cell C5 in multiple workbooks (from file C:\AutoMelinh) and pastes them in a column in my 'ZMaster' workbook.
The issue is I get the error 'The data you are pasting isn't the same size as your selection. Do you want to paste anyway?'. This comes after every paste, so I have to click 'ok' every single time. The format of the cell that is copied, is merged (between C5 and D5). I think this is the issue however I don't know how to mitigate that in the VBA code:
Sub LoopThroughDirectory()
Dim MyFile As String
Dim erow
Dim Filepath As String
Filepath = "C:\AutoMelinh\"
MyFile = Dir(Filepath)
Do While Len(MyFile) > 0
If MyFile = "ZMaster.xlsm" Then
Exit Sub
End If
Workbooks.Open (Filepath & MyFile)
Range("C5").Copy
ActiveWorkbook.Close
erow = Sheet1.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row
ActiveSheet.Paste Destination:=Worksheets("Sheet1").Range(Cells(erow, 1), Cells(erow, 4))
MyFile = Dir
Loop
End Sub
EDIT: I was able to solve the issue by using
Sub LoopThroughDirectory()
Dim MyFile As String
Dim erow
Dim Filepath As String
Filepath = "C:\AutoMelinh\"
MyFile = Dir(Filepath)
Do While Len(MyFile) > 0
If MyFile = "ZMaster.xlsm" Then
Exit Sub
End If
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Workbooks.Open (Filepath & MyFile)
Range("C5").Copy
ActiveWorkbook.Close
erow = Sheet1.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row
ActiveSheet.Paste Destination:=Worksheets("Sheet1").Range(Cells(erow, 1), Cells(erow, 4))
MyFile = Dir
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Loop
End Sub

Answer 1

you are getting the warning because you are pasting one cell into 4 cells
this should work without using copy/paste
Sub LoopThroughDirectory()
Dim Filepath As String
Filepath = "C:\AutoMelinh\"
Dim MyFile As String
MyFile = Dir(Filepath)
Dim erow As Range
Dim wb As Workbook
Do While Len(MyFile) > 0
If MyFile = "ZMaster.xlsm" Then Exit Sub
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(Filepath & MyFile)
erow = Workbooks("ZMaster.xlsm").Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
erow.Value = wb.Sheets(1).Range("C5").Value
if isempty(erow) then erow.value = "----------"
wb.Close
MyFile = Dir
Loop
End Sub
