Default Validation - Error message if equals Left formula

I have a project code in column A formatted as general and the user should be
entering 4 digits dash 3 digits (0001-000). In column B and C the user needs
to break out each part of those numbers. In B they need to type 0001 and in
C they type 000. I wanted to place a data validation in B that gives the
user an error message is the number typed in B do not equal the left 4
characters in A. Same for B with the right 3 characters of A. I've tried a
few things but I can't get the formula right. Any ideas?
