Good idea.

Could be used with no sheet event code but would require a DV dropdown in
every cell in multiple columns.


That was my first thought. But ...

In a brief testing with Excel 2007, even with the drop down, you would still
need event code to force to Upper Case.

If, instead of picking from the drop-down, you enter the two letters manually,
(e.g. enter "ny"), the lower case "ny" will be accepted and not changed to
upper case.
