Comparison

i am trying to get a piece of code that will check a value and then act accordinly - the usual thing with a For loop enclosing IF THEN ELSE loops - heres what i have
Code:

FOR removecounter = 1 to 15
IF removecounter = Session("newoptions") THEN
response.write "THEY ARE THE SAME - NOTHING TO CHANGE<br />"
ELSE
IF removecounter < Session("newoptions") THEN
response.write " NOTHING TO CHANGE <br />"
ELSE
' the only other thing it can be is > Session("newoptions")
response.write "BLANKING THE UNUSED<br /> "
END IF
END IF
NEXT


the Session("newoptions") is a value between 1 and 15 - i simply dont understand why this thing doesnt work
