problems with vbscript if statement

This is the VBScript code that isn't working....
---
dcreated = fileName.DateCreated
ddiff = DateDiff("d", Now, dcreated)
If ddiff < 8 Then
'Blah
End if
---
I create a variable ddiff... this variable contains the nr of days from
the created date until today. When I print the variable ddiff, it
contains the right number.

But when I use it in the If statement (<8) then --- ALL --- the ddiff
values, also the ones that are bigger than 7, pass this statement!! I
checked the contents of the variable ddiff by printing them, and the
are correct. It seems that the If statement is nog working...

What to do?

Just swap the order of arguments to DateDiff("d", dcreated, Now)

> ddiff = DateDiff("d", Now, dcreated)
This is always going to return a negative number unless the file creation
date is in the future.
