At the risk of telling you something else you probably already know (), just divide the voltage you have by the current you want and you'll get the resistance as the product. You just have to remember to adjust for the Current's units (i.e. if you're using mA, multiply by 1,000 to get Ω's instead of kΩ).

Ahhh! It feels good to actually use something I learned from my College Degree.
