After setting up your VIEW, using a filter based upon a PUBLIC variable (CStateName), set that variable to the user selected state in your application, and REQUERY("ViewName"). After your form is refreshed, you'll see only records that meet your filter criteria.

If someone knows a faster way, please pass it on......
