oh yeah - i knew there was another issue (of course these 4 issues are pretty closely related)
-snip-
I created a content type with a state selection and a view to group them. The problems I had with this were
- In the pull down I can have abbreviation or full name, not both (in
custom cms apps i've built i used state abbreviation in the value and name in the display thereby getting both - it would be great to have this) 2. When the view groups items rather than creating a header for the grouping it puts them together but repeats it every time. 3. it's actually putting the state in twice - once above the listing and once between location and contact info
4. I don't know how to get the list of populated states (or whatever field) before beginning the listing to create the targets
