Geoff: That's slick! I wondered if you folks had implemented something like it, but hadn't started to look for it.
By the way, it changed DC to District of Colombia. That didn't look right, so I looked on the USPS page (http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/welcome.jsp) for the link to "Find State Abbreviation" (next to the State field). It lists DC as "District of Columbia."
