Default Extract data to the right of a hyphen in a cell


I'm attempting to extract the data in a cell to the right of a
hyphen("-") and place it in a variable. I thought I could use the code
below, but it causes a compile error "Function or Sub not defined". The
word "Find" is highlighted and seems to be causing the error.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Once I get past the error, I might
have to adjust the code to make sure I'm getting the data I want.
Thanks

The contents of D4 is "9/1/2005-3/31/2006".
I need the "3/31/2006".
The workbook has multiple sheets. The cell I want is on worksheet
"Report Current".


Code:
--------------------
Sub Getit()
Dim GetRight As String
Worksheets("Report Current").Select
GetRight = (Right(D4, Len(D4), Find("" - "", D4) - 1))
End Sub
--------------------
