I am in the process of implementing this myself with XA rel4. Some things to
consider:
You want to use the ODBC connection. I create a join logical over the Order
Header + Order Extension (for Cust PO#) + Ship to file (MDBEREP) + Address
file (MBALREP) . Keyed by order#. You can map address fields to UPS Shipto +
Package fields.  Put the logical in it's own Library or a library with a few
objects. For some reason when you open up the file in UPS world ship, it
seems to want to touch every file (object) in the Library. Thus resulting in
a long time to get the prompt for the order#. I'm also having   
some problems using the Client Access Express ODBC file, I would recommend
using V3R2M0 client access.
