use Dynamic Drop Downs


You should have 2 tables:
Country:
CountryID - Primarykey
CountryName

states:
stateID - primary key
stateCountryID - foreign key to country.countryID
stateName


for the parent list create a recordset:
SELECT * FROM Country

Set the list to be dynamic. In the dynamic properties for the list, set the value to the CountryID column, and the label to the CountryName column.

Create a recordset for the states:
SELECT * FROM states

The add a Create Dynamic Array server behavior to the page, set the parent ID to the stateCountryID, set the Child ID to the stateID, set the child name to the stateName column.
