Using TQuery and Provider.SetParams is preferred. However, it is possible to do this with TTable. First have the client retrieve only the meta-data from the table by setting PacketRecords = 0, then calling Open. Next call an automation method on the server (you must define this method), which will cause the table to be positioned on the desired record. Finally, set PacketRecords to some value greater than zero, and call GetNextPacket.
