could someone give me some ASP help please?

It's OK - I found a tutorial on the net for nested repeat regions which
has sorted out my issue.

Thanks anyway.

Yes, that sounds just like what I need to do! i don't suppose you'd be
willing to share how you did it would you?

I had to do this once, long ago.

I created one long repeat region, and embedded some code to check when the
Category changed along with an IF statement to change the style of the row.
If the Category was different from the previous category, it would display
the name, and highlight the row with a background color so it would stand
out.

Gave a look like this:

**CATEGORY 1**
item1
item2
item3
**CATEGORY 2**
item1
item2

Not sure if it's what you're looking for.
