There are probably many ways to do this, but "corr2data" is probably the
simplest.  The following should do what you want.


set obs 500

mat C = 	(1.0, 0.4 \ ///
		 0.4, 1.0)
corr2data Measure1 Measure2, n(500) corr(C)

Can anyone provide pointers on how to use Stata to simulate a dataset
with 
predetermined correlational structure? For instance, say I wanted
MEASURE1 
to correlate with MEASURE2 at around r = .4?
