Default Updating 0s in front of the number values in the column

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!


-------------------------------------------------
Sub ZipCodeFixer()
Dim Zip1 As String

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

'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

End Sub
