I have this table that contains links that are put into 1 of about 10
categories.  

The table structure is as follows:

Auto-number (Identity Column) | Category Value | HttpLink | DisplayValue
for Link| UserID | DateTime | Available

The output I was looking for and got is:

Category1

            Link1

            Link2

            Link3

Category2

            Link1

            Link2

CategoryN

            Link1

            Link2  

How I got this is very suspect.  Not really looking to take up anyone's
time with specific code about how this should be done necessarily but
wondering how should this be structured?  I don't know if that makes
sense.  I just can't believe this is write though it is how my mind saw
it. :-)  I can't see how to otherwise group the links by category unless
I created one query per each category---which is essentially what I did.
How whack is this?

Thanks,

John
