Default Convert Date string to date format

I have some date strings I need to convert to date format. For example im
trying to convert strings like "200910" to Oct-2009. I tried using something
like this to do it but I get an error:

Cell A4: "200910" this is the date string to be converted
Cell B4: =left(a4,4)&","&right(a4,2)&","&"01" changes to "2009,10,01"
Cell C4: =date(b4)
After converting to a date I would use the custom cell format "mmmm-yyyy" in
C4 to give the result of Oct-2009.

I get the error "You've entered too few arguments for this function"

Can someone help?

Thanks,
Joe M.
