You can "run" the Item table from the Object Designer, and simply set filters and after that do Ctrl+H - Search and replace on the categories.

Now they are saying it could be done, but it will require several billable hours. Is there any means of setting the "web category" to multiple products simultaneously ? It is a selection that needs to be made, which requires drilling down through several different windows, to make the selection. But needs to be performed on each item one at a time. In this case setting the web category for a large number of items so that they could be listed and seen in the site. In my situation, I have 6500 items which need to have their "web category" set to in order to appear on the site.
Our test site is running off of Windows XP, and pulls from the Navision Test db on same machine.

Do you know what database you are using? Is it SQL Server or something else? Once you can determine table structure, you could update multiple fields at once:
cn = New OdbcConnection(strConn)
cmd = New OdbcCommand
cmd.Connection = cn
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text
cmd.CommandText = "Update ""TABLE"" set ""Web Category"" = '100' WHERE ""Key"" <= '1234'"
