Doug,
In this situation you need to nest your <cfoutput> tags and use the group
parameter.
<cfquery name="qCatsSubs" datasource="xxx">
SELECT categories.cat_id,
categories.category,
sub_categories.sub_id,
sub_categories.sub_category
FROM categories INNER JOIN sub_categories
ON cat_id = sub_cat_id
</cfquery>
<cfoutput query="qCatsSubs" group="cat_id">
<h1>#category#</h1>
<cfoutput>
#sub_category#<br>
</cfoutput>
</cfoutput>

Subject: ok here we go again
I am very sorry to keep bothering the list with my inexperience or
forgetfullness.
I now have my tables populated thanks to your help.
[categories]
cat_id PK
category
[sub_categories]
sub_id
sub_cat_id FK to cat_id
sub_category
I am trying to work my query so that it will come out with the each category
listed only once and the associated sub_categories beneath them. I keep
getting multiple listings of the same stuff over and over again. Someone
said I would need another table, do I ?
