   I have trued this to query my posts and while it does exclude cat=157 it does hold specific to cat=3. It seems to be ignoring the first parameter in favor of the second.

   query_posts('cat=3&cat-157')

   Does anyone know how to do this?

   Thanks!

   A bit confused by your question as query_posts('cat=3'); will get posts in category 3 and exclude every other category.

   I have two categories, 3 and 157. Some posts are only in 3 while others are in 3 and 157. On the landing page I am pulling all category 3 posts including those that also have category 157.

   On another page I only want to pull posts that are exclusively in category 3 and not the ones that are also in category 157.

   I tried to solve this with the following code:

   query_posts('cat=3&cat-157')

   My thought was that I could pull only category 3 while specifically excluding category 157 and thus filter out the posts that are in both 3 and 157.

   I hope this makes a bit more sense.

   Try something like this:
   

   <?php
   $args=array(
     'cat' => 3,
     'category__not_in'=> array(157),
     'post_type' => 'post',
     'post_status' => 'publish',
     'posts_per_page' => -1,
     'caller_get_posts'=> 1
   );
   $my_query = null;
   $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
   if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
     echo 'List of Posts';
     while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
       <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
       <?php
     endwhile;
   }
   wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
   ?>
