Yes, alot of letters :) Thanks for the reply. I am wondering if there could be a better method that doesn't rely on (what I am hearing) is an arbitrary ordering of categories assigned to the page? Maybe what I'm thinking of is a special property that can be assigned to a P(age) -- call it: has Primary Category, or something -- that indirectly calls out which form is to be used to edit the P(age)... Again,, thanks for the reply.
