Using the "Right" function correctly

I have written the following code and its not working:

textbox 1:  txtVin    ~ This is where the values are written
textbox 2:  txtUnitDescription   ~ This is where the "right" code will be placing the last 4 of the vin number.

Sub LastVinNo()
    Dim vin As String
    txtVin
    vin = Right(txtVin, 4)
    txtUnitDescription = vin
End Sub

I have placed this in a macro and within the code of the form itself - neither are working.
How do I write the actual "Right" function on excel vba correctly?

Thank you so much Martin, this did it!
Technically the ".Text" parts of the code are not necessary because 'Text' is the default property of a textbox, but I usually include it for self-documenting purposes. In any case you’re welcome and I’m glad I was able to help.
