You have to treat the numbers as strings instead of integers. The
logic for the script below is that a number with more digits than
another is a larger number, and if they have that same number of
digits, regular string comparison will give the same result as
numeric comparison. The numbers are converted to text strings using
the "CStr()" function.

I presume you left the handling of negative numbers as an "exercise for the
student" ... ;-)
