Problem with Spreads & Pages

Hello all,

I have done this before but for some reason I'm missing something and, well, the frustration level is getting high. I tried to search the archvies for this but didn't find what I was looking for... but did find ohter useful=stuff.

My problem is this, I create a 100 page book from a database (converted to XML and then placed via custom VB/InDe code). The document is using facing pages (2 pages per spread).

The first & second pages layout okay (spread 1 - index 1, spread 2 - index 1) but the third and subsequen odd pages (spread n - index 2) end up with their content on the even-numbered (left-hand or spread n - index 1) pages.

I need to be able to target these pages.

Basically I create the page as:
      Private mobjCurDoc As InDesign.Document
      dim mobjCurPage as InDesign.Page
      Set mobjCurPage = mobjCurDoc.Pages.Add

Of course, using my variable mobjCurPage won't directly access the pages I'm having trouble with. In the past i've been able to target, I'm sure, by getting the last spread, then getting the last indexed page (the newest one) someting like this:
    intSpreadCount = mobjCurDoc.Spreads.Count
    Set mobjCurSpread = mobjCurDoc.Spreads.Item(intSpreadCount)
    intSpreadPages = mobjCurSpread .Count
    Set mobjCurPage = mobjCurSpread.Pages.Item(intSpreadPages)

then I can
     mbojCurPage.some_action

I've also tried variants, instead of integers to pass the values, with no luck.

Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?
