So, then.


Sharon and I have been dicussing (whilst we're supposed to be at tork, working) plans for a Jammie Dodger Bored Board Virtual Secret Santa.  If that's too much of a mouthful for you, we'll call it JDBBVSS for short.


Here's how it works:


1. You let me know if you want to participate by registering your interest on this thread by the end of the week.


2. I collate the names and, using a complicated random selection procedure (on which I haven't quite decided - maybe Nate could provide us with a clever Access or Excel solution), assign each participant with the name of another participant and advise 'em by e-mail over the weekend.


3. Each participant has a week to find for their victim the coolest, silliest or most appopriate item which can be bought from an online shop.  NOT EBAY.  You're not allowed to use Ebay, 'cos that'd be too easy!  Cost is no object, as you won't actually be buying it!


4. At the end of the week, each participant must declare their designated present-ee and the gift that they have selected.  A name, a link to the item and, if neccessary an explanation for the selection is all that is required.


5. We all vote on the coolest, silliest or cleverest present and the winner gets... er... a bag full of kudos.


That's it.  Carry on.  Go about your business.

Here's the random sorter:


http://www.utteraccess.com/forums/showthreaded.php?Number=426063


Run it twice. I.e., list in column A, run it to generate column B, then run it again to generate column C, then use the pairings in B & C.

Don't mention it mate! One for the cause!


By twice, I mean call the private sub twice like such:


Call rnPk([a1:a10], [b1:b10])
Call rnPk([a1:a10], [c1:c10])


Changing 10 to the last cell's row number (obviously).
