Check out Myform.Mygrid.ActiveCell(2,4) -- specifically the ActiveCell() value.

If you are IN the second row/fourth column (this is the active cell) then it is simply MyVar = THIS.VALUE

If you are in another column but on the same ROW, then you would use my syntax from the earlier message: This.parent.parent.column4.text1.value

If you don't know WHERE you are, then you might want to re-think the program and require the user to point to the row. You CAN use activerow and activecolumn as your reference points. Check them out in the Help system.
