If "Field" in your world is a Column in a table in sql server then you can!If "Field" is a field in your application then this is not the best forum for this question.Be a bit more clear please.

Like webfred said..if its a column in a atble u need a CHECK constraint likeCONSTRAINT CK_department CHECK (department IN ('Sales','Accounts','Warehouse','Admin'))check BOL for more examples |

Or a foreign key to a table with valid values.
