Cannot change zone definition status

Disregard title.

Does anyone know if its possible to define a zone that includes all states but one.?

From the legend:
Green means: Taxes & Zones Defined
Yellow means: Zones Defined but not Taxes
Red means: Not Configured

Translation:
Green means: Taxes & Zones Defined -- the zone definition has both countries-and-states tied to it, and a tax rate associated with it
Yellow means: Zones Defined but not Taxes -- the zone definition has both countries and states tied to it, but no tax rates ... this is not necessarily a problem, because some zones may never be used for taxes
Red means: Not Configured -- there is no country+state associated with the zone definition ... ie: click the Details button and add whatever country+state combinations "define" the zone.

Yea I saw that 2 seconds after I posted thats why I deleted the part of the post that regarded status. I could not change the title so I simply said Disregard Title.:D

Oh. I was replying based on what you initially posted. I didn't see the edit, because I was in the midst of replying while you were editing.

Yes. Add all the states one-by-one, excluding the one you wish not to include.

Man that sounds like a tedious op. But thanks. (waiting on 1.6!) (mage isnt all its cracked up to be BTW)

Perhaps a search in the FAQs on the word:
zone

will locate numerous SQLs for you to quick build a number of popular zones ... :lookaroun

That was informative and the real kind of answer I was looking for in the first place.
