The latest version uses a variable for the text in the cell to left of the
active cell-:
Dim LocTxt As String
With ActiveCell
LocTxt = .Offset(0, -1).Value
.Value = Right(LocTxt, 3)
.Offset(0, -1).Value = Left(LocTxt, Len(LocTxt) - 3)
End With
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate

But I would like to know how to stop the error checking for Number as Text
in the active cell.

Yes, I think that's it. I'll check... back soon.

I'm not sure if I completely understand your question... does this code
do what you want?

With ActiveCell
.Offset(0, -1).Value = Left(.Value, Len(.Value) - 3)
.Value = Right(.Value, 3)
End With

I need some VB to do the following please (My VB is not good enough yet)

Starting from the active cell (call it the StartCell)
In the cell to the left..
ThreeChars = Value.right(3) (the last three chars)
Value = Value - last three characters (assume value is text & at least 3
chars present)
In StartCell..
value = ThreeChars (as text, overwrite any contents of StartCell)
move active cell one down from StartCell
