After that statement, does NewName have a value of "132002" ????

If so then it's very simple

NewName = STUFF(LEFT(m.NewName,4) + RIGHT(m.NewName,LEN(m.NewName)-4),3,0,"-")

Check the documentation for STUFF()

STUFF(yourstring, lnstart, 0, insertstring) will put insertstring into yourstring starting at character lnstart
