Classic ASP: Illogical If Statement Result

response.Write("CurPage=" & CurPage & "<br />")
response.Write("iNumPages=" & iNumPages)
if CurPage < iNumPages then
    response.Write("in correct part")
    writepagebar = sStr & sLink & CurPage + 1 & """ rel=""next"">" _
      & snext & "</a> " & sLink & iNumPages & """><span class=""pagebarquo""" _
      & " style=""font-family:Verdana;font-weight:bold"">&raquo;</span></a>"
else
    response.Write("in bad part")
    writepagebar = sStr & " " & snext & " <span class=""pagebarquo""" _
       & " style=""font-family:Verdana;font-weight:bold"">&raquo;</span>"
end if

What is wrong here? It's printing out

CurPage=11
iNumPages=52

So it should be going into the correct part...but it's going into the bad part.

I'm trying to make the Next word a hyper link...

Probably CurPage is evaluating as String. Since it is possible to have a False return value for an expression like "11" < 52 in VBScript, before comparing numeric variables you should make sure that its data type is also numeric, not string.
This will work as you expect.

if CLng(CurPage) < CLng(iNumPages) then
    'correct part
else
    'bad part
end if
