For example if i had a table with field names 1,2 3 etc and i only wanted the value of the field 2 but did not know which field until execution time how would i do this?"

Dynamic sql:

declare @sql varchar(4000)
declare @Columnname varchar(100)

set @columnname = 'Column3'

set @sql = 'SELECT ' + @columnname + ' FROM MyTable WHERE ' + @columnname + ' = 10 '

exec(@sql)
