Awful is right, however as is the case with so many projects, it is not my
app, I don't have access to the SQL Server for ease of manipulation and they
want to see it tomorrow. It will be run once a day and relevant to about
4,000 records. Any other input would be greatly appreciated.

that's a perfectly awful way to handle this. re-design your app, put the
states data in another table, one per row. everything will become simpler.
