<div>
well, you could use<br />
<br />
//for same row<br />
if stringgrid1.rows[rowindex]<wbr />.IndexOf('<wbr />VALUE') &gt;&nbsp;-1 then<br />
&nbsp; showmessage('Exists Already');<br />
<br />
//for same column<br />
if stringgrid1.cols[colindex]<wbr />.IndexOf('<wbr />VALUE') &gt;&nbsp;-1 then<br />
&nbsp; showmessage('Exists Already');<br />
<br />
just as kickoff <br />
(just clear and save your current input before validating)<br />
<br />
not sure about syntax-&gt;just from head<br />

I haven't read the entire question with comments, but if you want to search through a row or a column i guess you can use IndexOf. StringGrid1.Rows[xx].Index<wbr />Of('search<wbr /> text');<br />
And again, i don't know whether this have been suggested by kretzs.. !

When I want to enter a value into a string grid cell (eg: StringGrid1.Cells[2,1]) I want to check whether that same value exists either in the same column &nbsp;or in the same row. It's some kind of a validation process whereby, I would be able to assign some value to the cell if only the same value does not exist in the same column or row.<br />
