"Hi Crystal!! How do I set up a drop down box for state abbreviations in Access?

— Jodi


Thanks for your question, Jodi. I have added a sample form to the reference database showing how to set up 3 different types of comboboxes:
  1. combobox showing all states. Calculated textbox controls show Statename, Country code, IsActive flag
  2. combobox showing states with Active flag set. Calculated textbox controls show Statename, Country code.
  3. cascading combobox to pick Country and then State. Requery on AfterUpdate event of Ctry. Criteria in RowSource of State. Calculated control shows statename.
