"10"
string isn't the same as
10
number (integer type)
"1" > "2" - you are checking ONE STRING with ANOTHER.
Use
99 > 100
instead of
"99" > "100"

when comparing 2 string values like this in vbs, you compare the values in the ASCII table for the starting characters,
so "99">"100" is the same as "9">"1" in ASCII terms, so thats TRUE, that's why your messagebox shows up.
