You could create a two dimensional array of AnsiStrings but the size
isn't fixed so you'd have to do that on the heap. That's perfectly
possible but a PITA.

How about using std::vector?

typedef std::vector<AnsiString> ColumnOfAnsiStrings;
typedef std::vector<ColumnOfAnsiStrings> GridOfAnsiStrings;

WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE, HINSTANCE, LPSTR, int)
{
  GridOfAnsiStrings grid;

  for( int columnIndex=0;
       columnIndex<10;
       ++columnIndex )
  {
    ColumnOfAnsiStrings column;

    for( int rowIndex=0;
         rowIndex<10;
         ++rowIndex )
      column.push_back( AnsiString( columnIndex )+
                        ","+AnsiString( rowIndex ) );

    grid.push_back( column );
  }

  ShowMessage( grid[ 5 ][ 6 ] ); // "5,6"
}
