Random, but not so random

[youmustcomply]

Hi, i have been studying vb 6 and now to vb.net only for a year and abit.
Currently i am trying to write a rota program.
i have each day where a member of staff can either do phones or deliveries, there is 8 members of staff and the rota is for 2months.i cant seem to figure any way of getting the staff to be random on each day either phones or delivery but still managing to keep them all to doing the same amount of extras.mind confusing or what.... i was wondering if anyone had any ideas or thoughts on this,,,

also there are 2 members of staff who cant work 2 days so there will need to be some validation in it aswell

Thank You

Did you find the answer to this problem? I have a similar random but not so random issue to solve.

Thanks

Hi,
I did find a solution to the problem. This was to create an array with all the names in a list twice in different orders so that it can be sort of random. i then have done code to swap names if they meet certain validation rules.
