Probably ought to file a support ticket then. It can't be very complicated.

Greg,

That didn't end up being the issue, but it did help me out as the categories were top level categories and weren't showing up when cat_ExcSubs equaled 1. I'll have to keep looking, but thanks for the tip.

in modCata.asp, look for this code:

        <%
        cat_DropDownName="idParentCategory"
        cat_Type="0"
        cat_DropDownSize="1"
        cat_MultiSelect="0"
        cat_ExcBTOHide="0"
        cat_StoreFront="0"
        cat_ShowParent="1"
        cat_DefaultItem=""
        cat_SelectedItems="" & pIdParentCategory & ","
        cat_ExcItems="" & pIdCategory & ","
        cat_ExcSubs="0"
        %>

My guess is that the last line looks like this:

cat_ExcSubs="1"

Change the 1 to 0.

When I go to edit a subcategory from the Control Panel, the Parent Category dropdown says . When I click on the drop down, the actual parent category isn't listed. However, I will be able to see the original Parent category I was looking for when editing a different subcategory with a different parent.

It appears that the parent category of whichever subcategory I'm editing disappears. I can modify anything because saving will move the subcategory to the top level.

Any ideas?
