Not wishing to be ungrateful but you have a number of cases saying:
Case "AE"
which should probably be something else.

Unfortunately, I can't correct them as I don't know the right answers.

Having looked further, I see I misunderstood the problem
http://www.usps.com/ncsc/lookups/usp...eviations.html
gives the same abbreviations you do.

However, the second and subsequent versions will never be reached.
Perhaps something like:

Case "AE"
StateNameFromAbbrev = "Armed Forces (indeterminate) "
