Default change sheet names...with a twist?

I need help creating a 2 part formula, which will allow me to change all of
the sheet names in my file to the value in cell A1 on each sheet. There's a
twist though...I want Excel to ignore the first 4 characters in Cell A1 on
each sheet before changing the sheet name.

So, if Cell A1 on Sheet1 contains the value 001=Farming, I would like the
sheet name to be called 'Farming'. I can extract 'Farming' in Excel using
the following formula: =MID(A1,11,LEN(A)-4) but I don't know how to do this
in VB.

Second, I'd like to create a function that will change all of the sheet
names in the file to the value in Cell A1 on each sheet.

Can anyone help?
