I am attempting to add a State field however I receive a notice saying - "A
field with this name already exists in the 'all contact fields' field set.
Enter a different name."

I tried going to properties and then choose field but i can't seem to find
the all contact fields field set. Does anyone have any ideas?
 
It should be there -- along with All Task Fields, All Appointment Fields, etc.

I thought is should be there also but these are the only ones there -
frequently used fields, address fields, date/time fields, all document
fields, all mail fields, user defined fields in Inbox, and forms.
 
Exactly where are you looking? What kind of form are you working on?

I created a combo box that I was going to use for states. It is a message
form. I rt clicked on the combo box -> properties -> value tab -> choose
field.

Are different fields available for different form types?
 
With rare exceptions, you can't use a field from one kind of form on another kind of form. The solution in your case is probably to create a new custom property.
