Can anyone tell me why this if statement always return False?

  if (qryStatus.FieldByName('oldstatus').AsInteger in [STATUS_NEW..STATUS_CANCELLED]) then

where STATUS_NEW & STATUS_CANCELLED are constants declared as

STATUS_NEW: Integer = 100;
STATUS_CANCELLED: Integer = 1000;

I've descovered that the AsInteger property returns a LongInt so tried copyying the value into a local Integer variable but it still returns False.

However if I substitute the constants for their values the if statement returns True.
