Modifying data in forms with values

I have to create registration forms all the time for people in the office and what I keep running into is that I need a way for when they edit a field that the drop-down list of choices is automatically set for the right now. I have 100+ counties in one list, but I don't want to write 100+ if statements for checking to see if the value of $county equals the value of the field I am drop down choice. Anyone have some quick solutions? I have radio buttons as well, but going to use a drop-down list for the editing pages to make it all simple. Thanks!
