iamthwee,

You are correct. That is basically what I am after. I need a code sample that would shuffle values from a column in one table and pair them at random with values in another table. If you have a code sample I would really appreciate it.

This?

   //the program you get different results
 
   vector <string> vc;
 
   vc.push_back("susan"); //fill vector
   vc.push_back("amy");
   vc.push_back("heather");
   vc.push_back("zoe");
 
   cout << "The original list is:\n";
   for ( int i=0; i<vc.size(); i++)
   {
        cout << vc[i] <<" "; /*display the original list*/
   }
 
   random_shuffle(vc.begin(), vc.end()); /* shuffle elements */
 
    cout<<"\n\n\nThe shuffled list is:\n";
    for ( int i=0; i<vc.size(); i++)
    {
        cout << vc[i] <<" ";
    }  /* display shuffled elements */
 
  cin.get();
 
 
}
