Updating 0s in front of the number values in the column
This tries to keep as much as possible of your original approach ...
Sub ZipCodeFixer()
On Error GoTo xxx
Const Zip1 As String = "'0"
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'go to the first cell in the column
Cells(2, 6).Select
Do
If Len(ActiveCell) = 4 Then
ActiveCell.Value = Zip1 & ActiveCell.Value
End If
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop While Len(ActiveCell) 0
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Exit Sub
xxx:
MsgBox Err.Number & " " & Err.Description
End Sub

Hello,
I've got a column with Zip Codes in 12345-1234 format, but some zipcodes are
in 12345 format. When the column is converted to text, those without dashes
loose 0 in front of it.
I wrote a macro to fix it. It suppose to check if the cell has less than 4
digits, and if so, add a 0 in front of it.
It's not working - what is wrong with it ? Thanks!

'go to the first cell in the column
Cells(2, 16).Select
Do While Mid(ActiveCell, 5, 1) < ""
If Mid(ActiveCell, 5, 1) = "" Then
Zip1 = Mid(ActiveCell, 1, 4)
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "'" + Zip1
End If
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
