Which date is greater?

[cfash]

I am having a problem figuring out how to get this to work.
date1 = 1/1/90
dateMin = 4/3/90
dateMax = 2/16/01

if (date1 < dateMin) then
Error 1
elseif (date1 > dateMax) then
Error 2
end if

This should be performing Error 1, but it is performing Error 2. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem might be?

At aspsamples.com there is section where you can paste ASP code into a textarea, then run it. I did this with the code above, altering it slightly:
<%@ language=vbscript%>
<%
date1 = 1/1/90
dateMin = 4/3/90
dateMax = 2/16/01

if (date1 < dateMin) then
response.write &quot;less&quot;
elseif (date1 > dateMax) then
response.write &quot;more&quot;
end if
%>
This code executed propery, so we know the logic is correct.
For fun I would make your years 4 digits.
Post back if you find a solution.
