Is there a formula or code snippet which will convert the occasional long state name to the 2-character code? I've got a real mess
to clean up

Thanks!

No. I'd suggest you create a new table with state name and abbreviations
(source: http://www.usps.com/ncsc/lookups/abbr_state.txt)
and do an update query.
