If i want to set permissions for a user for just what they need to access.

If I give them exec permission to stored procedure -do I have to give them permission to the tables the stored procedure may select form or even delete from?

No - not if the tables are in the same database as the sp. They will inherit those permissions from the owner of the SP.
Note - if the sp has any dynamic sql or accesses anything outside the dtabase then the permissions will be checked for the login that is running the sp.

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.
