random numbers drawn from Gaussian distribution in a specific range and having a fixed mean

Hi All,
I'm trying to generate 8 random numbers (being multiplies of 10, i.e. 510, 620, 810 etc) drawn from a Gaussian distribution within a specific range (50-1200). The mean of these numbers would be predetermined, too (i.e. 400).
I would appreciate it so much if anyone can help me how to do it in Matlab.
Thank you very much!

This cannot be done. Distributions that have fixed limits cannot be gaussian. Gaussian distributions always have infinite tails.
People who ask this question are often satisfied to use a Beta Distribution instead. More hints in this previous discussion
