Hi Folks

I have the following macro that, for the life of me, I can't seem to
change so that it cuts the last 5 characters of a cell instead of the first
5 characters. Any help much appreicated.

Sub MoveAround()

Dim CellVal As String

CellVal = ActiveCell.Text
Range(ActiveCell.Address) = Right(CellVal, Len(CellVal) - 6)
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
Range(ActiveCell.Address) = Left(CellVal, 6)
ActiveCell.Offset(1, -1).Select

End Sub
