Hi Jason,

I've created 2 new tables in my database and replicated the naming conventions etc.

Here's the basic structure:
itemcategories table and items
CatID Catname Catlink
1 Category 1 _page1.php
2 Category 2 _page2.php

items table and items
ItemID ItemCatID ItemName ItemLink
1 2 Sub-Link1 _page2.php
2 2 Sub-Link2 _page2.php
3 2 Sub-Link3 _page2.php
4 2 Sub-Link4 _page2.php

I've set all the items as Category 2, so that all rollovers are in that category only.

But I get no rollover sub munu.

Could the problem be that the Category menu is the horizontal 'top' menu and the Items menu is a vertical rollover menu. But on unfiltered tests this doesn't seem to be a problem.

Thanks
Nathan
