Mohammed,

Since your result of SELECT command is just a VFP cursor, you can use various VFP commands to do that. The value in certain grid cell is a value of one of fields in your cursor, when positioned on certain record.

As an example, to get the value from the second record, assuming the first grid column displays CLIENT_NAME field:

GO 2
myVariable = mytable.client_name

If you don't know what is the field name you can use Column.Controlsource property to get the value.

myVariable = EVAL(thisform.grid1.column1.ControlSource)

You also can get the value of the selected grid cell programmatically from the Grid.Value property, but this works only when Grid has the focus, so you could use a code like this:

thisform.grid1.ActivateCell(2,1) && second grid row, first column
thisform.grid1.SetFocus()
myVariable = thisform.grid1.value
