    Hopefully a very simple question requiring a very simple answer.

    I have the part number stored as a string

    FileName = "123456-01"

    How do I extract the first 4 characters from this variable and place
    them in another variable.

    I tried using InStr but I could not figure out how to get it to work.

    Can anyone help me?
