Default Creating Unique Random Numbers?

Hi everyone,
I found the below code on this board (I think it originated from Tom
Ogilvy). I need to put the generated numbers in a row but the list generated
is designed for a column (if this makes any sense at all).
Its probably simple but I am new at this stuff and would appreciate any help.

Rgds,
Ozgur

Sub GetThem()
Dim arrCheck(1 To 800) As Long
Dim arrList(1 To 799) As Long
Dim j As Long
Dim N As Long
Const LNG_PLUG As Long = 999

j = 1
Do While j < 4
'Get a random number
Randomize
N = Int(Rnd * 800 + 1)
'If number unique then add to arrList.
If arrCheck(N) < LNG_PLUG Then
arrList(j) = N
arrCheck(N) = LNG_PLUG
j = j + 1
End If
Loop
Sheets(1).Range("A4:A6").Value = arrList()
' Sheets(1).Range(Cells(5, 1), Cells(5, Sheets(1).Range("b1"))).Value =
arrList()
End Sub
