I want to thank both At_Libitum and BetterRed for the quick replies.

At_Libitum, for whatever reason my selecting 1 item with a mouse click and then selecting the next with (ctr) mouse click does NOT give me the results you describe.

I had thought that it SHOULD work in the way you described, however it is not and that is why I am befuddled.

I select an author from the left column with a mouse click.
(results are shown for that author)
I hold down CTRL and select 'SERIES' from the left column with the mouse.
(results are shown for EVERY series PLUS results for the selected author.)

I had hoped that it would give me the parred down selection of 'Series' by the selected Author but it does not.

IF my system worked the way you described then PERFECT that is what I wanted.
If you get these results that you describe, maybe I have something configured incorrectly?

Any suggestions on why this is not working for me?

I have been using virtual libraries and love them.
I have them set up with the main/ first levels of my categorization scheme.
(Sci-fi, Horror, Fantasy, Action, Biography.....)
I just need a couple more levels to 'drill down' into.

I have been playing with the hierarchical method and think I can get it to work for me with genres.

Thanks again.
