> ## State List button

> The Add Subject Records and Provider information forms have a built-in function that helps you pick out the standard two-letter abbreviation for a U.S. state. If the database is outside the United States, you can use local area abbreviations instead (see Creating a non-USA State List). When you type a single letter, such as M, then tab out of the field, a list of states (or other regions) will appear. Select the correct state and the abbreviation appears.

> You can override the State List function by clicking cancel when the list of state names appears, or by clicking the State List button, which turns to "No State." You can set the default button selection using the Preferences formRelated topics
