In other words, if the month/year of a credit card is less than the current month/year, then false, else true? Here's a simple example that you can modify as needed (if this is indeed what you are trying to do):

if ExpireYr < Year(Now()) then
  'Card is expired, do something here
elseif ExpireYr >= Year(Now()) and ExpireMth < Month(Now()) then
  'Card is expired, do something here
else
  'Card is ok and not expired, do something here
end if
