Hmm, what does your dynamic menu looks like (the data, not the HTML/dynamic code)?

Since there are duplicates, and you are already trying SELECT DISTINCT, then maybe you should look into the GROUP BY clause. There's a DMXzone premium article that covers scenarios of both DISTINCT and GROUP BY: www.dmxzone.com/showDetail.asp?TypeId=28&NewsId=6782
