Accessing the value of a cell in a datagrid

[amazon otter via .NET 247]

Hi,
I've been researching in how to do this for 3 days now. I'mdisplaying a datagrid, DATAGRID1, that has for instance 3columns and 5 rows. The column headers are Employee, Day1, andDay2. Each column may or may not have string data in them.
------DATAGRID1-----------------
Employee Day1 Day2
John S
Sam A
Joe D
Jen F
Nick T
--------------------------------

The row values are Linkbuttons. So when a user clicks on say,"S", for John under Day1, my datagrid does an OnItemCommandevent to a Sub called "Process_OnItemCommand".

I need for this Sub to give me the Cell index that it resides in.I know how to get the row index by using, e.item.itemindex, butI really need to know how to get the Cell(Column) index. Allthe examples I've seen so far have syntax like, LABELx.text =CType(e.Item.Cells(1).FindControl("LABELy"), label).text, whereCells(1) actually means something to them.

I do not have the luxury of knowing which cell was selected or doI? Am I missing something? Is their a way of finding theColumn Index. The reason I am trying to do this is so that Ican take the value that was selected and remove it from theDataset and eventually the re-painted datagrid.

Thanks

You may not have to use the Cell reference. Here is an example that may
help---
LinkButton lnkButton= (LinkButton) e.Item.FindControl("Name of the link
button");

//If there is a link button with the name above exist then the variable
lnkButton will be
//mapped.

if(lnkButton!=null)
{
//do something;
}

We should NEVER rely on the positioning.
