Assign things to users

Hi, This is more of a logic question than a PHP question. I wanted to get some opinions on how some of you are doing things like this. I have a set of employees in our quote management system. We get thousands of quotes per hour, and every 15 minutes I have a cron that goes out and grabs the unassigned and goes in a round robin fashion assigning the quotes to the employees. I have the table setup like: User ID, Username, AssignTolken What I've been doing is grabbing the user who has AssignTolken = 1, and giving them the next quote. Then I change them to 0, pull up the next user in line, and set them up to get the next quote with AssignTolken = 1. My question is: How do you all do handle similar situations like this? I've been thinking there has to be a better way to do it, but I have not been able to think of a good way to do it. I'd like to see how if I'm doing it like everyone else, or what else is out there. Any ideas would be appreciated! -- -Dan Joseph www.canishosting.com - Plans start @ $1.99/month. "Build a man a fire, and he will be warm for the rest of the day.
