Default Selecting right part of text string

Hi

I have cells that are populated by a data dump from a work management system
and the text will always appear in a preformatted manner

eg: VODAFONE P3 INC526642 SITE: SOJ Shotover Jet HQ DUE 4/11/09 16:09

I want to select the date only from this string - which will always appear
after the word DUE ..

I have tried the formula below (from this forum) though am coming unstuck
and it is not returning what I want.

=RIGHT(R2,FIND("DUE ",R2&"DUE "))

The above formula gives me this result ... 26642 SITE: SOJ Shotover Jet HQ
DUE 4/11/09 16:09


TIA ...
