    SELECT DISTINCT
Name,
Desc as Description,
Category,
Usage,
No_of_Pages,
Author,
Confidential
FROM Docsdb.dbo.tblProperty
WHERE
   (CASE 
       WHEN '" & Confidential_Flag &"'='1' AND Confidential='1' THEN 1
       WHEN '" & Confidential_Flag &"='0' AND Confidential='0' THEN 0
    )
    AND ('" & Doc_Name &"' = '' OR Name     = '" &Doc_Name &"')
    AND ('" & Doc_Desc &"' = '' OR Desc     = '" &Doc_Desc &"')
    AND ('" & Category &"' = '' OR Category = '" &Category&"')
    AND ('" & Usage    &"' = '' OR Usage    = '" &Usage&"')

    You were wrapping the catergories in '' so blanks would of always been empty strings. Try the above
