There are multiple rows in my .tab file in mapinfo. Is there any way to select nth row in mapbasic window of mapinfo?
Select * from 'table' Where RowID = n
If you want it into a selection table of your choice, put the selection into somename, then browse * from somename If not, just Browse from selection

This is all from memory, so please play about and also read the online reference manual:

nps. Seriously though, have a look at the help, as they'll give code samples, you can play with. I'd also recommend 'MapInfo -l'. It's sort of a way of searching through some cracking code samples. – Hairy Aug 11 '11 at 7:50

yes I have the user guide I am studying but small things confuse me :( – kinkajou Aug 11 '11 at 7:57

well, nps, you'll get answers here as long as you accept them and act in good grace (which I fail to do sometimes). – Hairy Aug 11 '11 at 8:48
Very simple with Fetch:
Fetch rec 125 From Database
will find record #125 in your database...

Fetch will only set the cursor at that position and not "select" the actual row. But it does depend on what he wants to do with the row afterwards – Peter Horsbøll Møller Aug 5 '15 at 19:34
