Still no luck. This is the code now:
def afterInit(self):
statesdropdown = SPLDropdown(self, DataSource = ClientBizobj, DataField
= "stateprov")
locations = ({"state": "Select", "iid": 0},
{"state": "Ak", "iid": 1},
{"state": "Ga", "iid": 2},
{"state": "Tx", "iid": 3})
choices = []
keys = {}
for location in locations:
choices.append("%s" % (location['state']))
keys[location["iid"]] = len(choices) - 1
self.Choices = choices
self.Keys = keys
self.ValueMode = "key"

SPLDropdown is the RegID I gave to the drop down list.
Now I get the error:
NameError: global name 'SPLDropdown' is not defined
