Default Code won't run in a subroutine!

Hi folks,
I have some code that works just fine until I place a
portion of it in a subroutine...and then it just doesn't
do squat! Here's the code that works fine:
Dim CellContents As Variant
FinalRow = Cells(65536, 1).End(xlUp).Row
LastColumn = Cells(1, 255).End(xlToLeft).Column - 2
For i = 2 To FinalRow
CellContents = Trim(Cells(i, 2).Value)
Select Case CellContents
Case 9101010 To 9101011
StartColumn = 4
For j = StartColumn To LastColumn Step 1
If IsNumeric(Cells(i, j)) Then
Cells(i, j).Interior.ColorIndex = 40
Cells(i, j).Value = "-" & Cells(i, j).Value
Else
Cells(i, j).Interior.ColorIndex = 35
Cells(i, j).Value = Left(Cells(i, j).Value, Len
(Cells(i, j).Value) - 2)
End If
Next j
Cells(i, 1).Resize(1, 8).Interior.ColorIndex = 4
Case Else
End Select
Next i
End Sub

But...when I pull out the stuff from the middle, and put
this in a subroutine:

StartColumn = 4
For j = StartColumn To LastColumn Step 1
If IsNumeric(Cells(i, j)) Then
Cells(i, j).Interior.ColorIndex = 40
Cells(i, j).Value = "-" & Cells(i, j).Value
Else
Cells(i, j).Interior.ColorIndex = 35
Cells(i, j).Value = Left(Cells(i, j).Value, Len
(Cells(i, j).Value) - 2)
End If
Next j

the program no longer works!
Suggestions???
Thanks,
Craig
