Greg,
If you know a piece to key from you can get any piece you want. For example,
if you know the ID you're looking for is 3, and you want the first name in
record 3, use:

select firstname
from [tablename]
where ID = 3

this query would return 'tom'

Subject: Thanks everyone but one last question


Thanks for the help on my newbie question. I learned a great deal believe it
or not. You were all kind.

Now one last question before I go back to the books.


See the database setup below.

ID       PASSWORD         FIRSTNAME         LASTNAME
4          sdf              greg             landry
3          gth              tom              jones

Lets say I wanted to see what is in the second record and see what's under
the column FIRSTNAME. What I am learning is that I have to print out the
entire database to see what is in it. I would just like to be able to know
how to access a particular element in a database. Like what's in row 2,
column 2?

Thank you so much for your patience and time.

Greg "the ever curious newbie"
