How to get exactly row 6 from a SELECT result in Access 2000 SQL?

How can I get exactly row 6 or whatever, row 234 from simple SELECT statement in Access 2000 SQL?

You don't, since access doesn't have a ROW_NUMBER-Function.
See your other thread.
I've told you there is a workaround using DCOUNT

EDIT: There is a second workaround i just thought of:
You could use the TOP n -function, and then retrieve the last recordset, but obviously, this would only work on sorted queries (ORDER BY-clause)

rs.open "SELECT TOP 6 ID, clientname FROM myclient ORDER BY Turnover",blahblah
rs.movelast

If you are using vba code. Open the recordset, and put a while loop in to move to next recordset until the number is reached or there are no more records.
If I remember correctly there was a method to jump straight to a specific x row method. found it!
Don't usually use it but perhaps this is what you were loking for (Note its DAO)

in ADO the move method should do what you want, move # records from bookmark adbookmarkfirst

It doesn't matter which "workaround" he uses, in the worst case it's going to be a performance-issue.
He'll always have to retrieve the full Query (a few thousand records?), and then in a second step move to the desired record.

No idea.
But if it's a table with a lot of columns, it might be an idea to split it up into a master-table with just the columns you need for the Query, with a Detail-Table in 1:1 relation.
Meaning: Do the query on the stripped-down master-table, move cursor to desired position, read the ID/PK from that record, retrieve the remaining informations from the detail-table.

But without knowing his setup.... *shrug*

EDIT: If he knows which record (ROW_NUMBER) he needs before firing the query, i think my approach with "SELECT TOP n ....." and then Record.MoveLast would still be his best bet.
Of course, i know that the further in the back the record is he seeks, the more records he has to load.
With TOP n he can at least cut off everything after it
