   After endless research with no joy I find myself having to ask for help. Below is what I would like to do:

   Query the child pages from a specified parent page (id=7). For each child page, display an custom field (image) which links to the child page (its permalink)

   Anybody any ideas - it sounds easy but I have not had any joy so far. Thanks in advance.

   Typical! As soon as I post here I find the answer myself. Below does the above, but brings the title of each post rather than an image:

   <?php query_posts(array('showposts' => 20, 'post_parent' => 7, 'post_type' => 'page')); while (have_posts()) { the_post(); ?>
   
   <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
   
   <?php } ?>

   How can you do this with categories?

   So that the output is a list of child categories, and the posts from each one.

   for child categories:

   <?php
   $cats = get_categories('child_of=7&orderby=count&order=DESC'); 
   
   foreach ($cats as $cat) :
   
     $args = array(
       'posts_per_page' => -1, // max number of post per child category
       'cat' => $cat->term_id
       );
     query_posts($args); 
   
     if (have_posts()) : 
   
   echo $cat->name; //optional
   
       while(have_posts()) :
       the_post();
         /*here what you want to output*/
       endwhile; 
   
     endif; 
   
   endforeach;
   ?>
