I have not been able to find software to complete a project. I have 100 names and need to randomly sort 4 names into 25 groups. Each time I sort, I don't want to duplicate a previous sort. Anyone know of such a software?
icriley, I can write some code for you in Visual Basic (VB.NET) that will perform what you are trying to do. The only catch is that you have to install the .NET framework to get the application to run. It is 23MB and can be downloaded from here:
Alternatively, If you have access to a machine with Visual Studio.NET installed then you can run in on that machine and use it there.
The way I would do it is read the Names in from a plain text file, then use a random number generator to pick one from the list and add it to a ComboBox, at the same time removing itself from the list. So you would would end up with 25 drop down lists containing four random names each. Is that what you are trying to do?
If you are interested, give me your email address and we can discuss it further there.
