How to select a cell instead of a line in a table

[viktoras didziulis]

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):
