all the possible sequences for numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 in groups of 5.

so I need to write a VB6 program that will generate all the possible sequences for numbers 1-10 in groups of 5.  
below is a starting sequence but not sure how to do it in a program.

1 2 3 4 5 61 2 3 4 5 10
1 2 3 4 6 7
1 2 3 4 5 7
1 2 3 4 5 8
1 2 3 4 5 9

1 2 3 4 6 8
1 2 3 4 6 9
1 2 3 4 6 10
1 2 3 4 7 8
1 2 3 4 7 9

If you want combinations where for example 12345 would be considered the same as 13245 then you'd get about 240 results. If you want permutations where for example 12345 would be not considered the same as 13245 then you'd get about 30,000 results. Which do you want?

where 12345 is the same as 13245.  (combinations)
would just make 5 loops from 1 to 10 and check for duplicates and repeats or is there a function?
