Do this:

on closeField
    if  me > the cMaxValue of me then
        put the cMaxValue of me into field the FieldPageNumber
        beep
    end if
end closefield

Note the shortcut "me", which resolves to the content of that field 
(Hey, it's me! ;-)
and "the cMaxValue of me" since the field is the "owner" of that 
customprop...

Customprops always have to be referred to with:

THE name_of_cp OF name_of_owner


Hope that helps...
