Hi, Just so I understand this, you want to show sites from the SiteDirectory on a page? Ok, when using the Categories Web Part in a Site Directory you select the Source List and the Relevant view from that Directory. If however you wish to list the sites in the SiteDirectory you could simply use the List Web Part for that List and expose any view you want from that Sites List. The site directory has a a list called sites and has the Divisions column in it - hence - all you need do is to create a view, to filter / group by the division and expose that view on the page. Hope this helps Cheers Geoff

hi Geoff, i know how to use the category webpart ive set it up the way i want to but how do u use the site in category webpart only ? i need to use it to show the sites links in my division category.. e.g.. i have a site named "MyPortal" under my Division in a site directory page, i want to insert more links in "MyPortal" when i click it it shows me more links in it like Divsion:MyPortal MyPage www.mypage.com i want to achieve the upper result...i think that can be achieved by using the "Site In Category" webpart but cant figure it out...hope u understand my situation thanx...
