You can get it from the grid Rowsource table/cursor/view.

_myvalue = grdAlias.Field8

>In the following construct, how does one specify that the value in colmun8 comes from the active row of the grid?
>
>FOR i = 1 TO _screen.formcount
> IF UPPER(ALLTRIM(_screen.forms[i].name))='WRK2'
> _myvalue = ALLTRIM(UPPER(thisform.grdResult.Column8.text1.value))
> ENDIF
>ENDFOR
>
>As grdResult may contain multiple rows, I need to have _myvalue come from the activerow. Currently I am getting the last row's value.
