an alternative for a small number of fields (7 in your case) might be using 7 grouped text fields (naming them f1, f2,..., f7, and naming the group "myTable") with horizontal gridlines to represent each field in table. Selection, hiliting and editing of a cell in this kind of "table" is a trivial task, besides you can hide any additional information in each field. Populating the "table" from file is also an easy task as is saving the results.

Here is a functional example with open, save, hiliting and cell edit (execute in Revolution's message box):

Hi
I have a function in a standalone, where user can select an item in a scolling 
field,
( with locked text and list behavior),and do things with the thus selected 
"target".
Now I want to improve the users interface, and replace the inconvenient long 
scrolling
 to see the bottom of the list.
I will instead present all the selectable  items in a wide rectangular field,
so all can be seen at once. I found an approach, by placing the items in a 7 collumn table, but found, that the select would select a whole line of items (logicaly enough , as list behaviour had to be set, in order to produce a "selected item").
Is there a way, where the handler can limit its choice to the precise cell 
clicked in the table ?.
