You probably want the "-SELECT-" to be in position 0 (top of list):
drop.Choices.insert(0, "-SELECT")
drop.Keys.insert(0, None)
And using ValueMode="Key" like I describe you can now select
"California" in a couple ways:
drop.Value = "CA"
drop.KeyValue = "CA"
drop.StringValue = "California"
drop.PositionValue = 2
By setting ValueMode="Key" you are telling Dabo to save the key to the
database, not the string.
