Justin, SOAP is Simple Object Access Protocol, it defines how you send/receive application to application requests over the net. Check out http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/ for more information on SOAP. I looked at the UPS info on their shipping tools, and while they are XML based, they don't appear to be SOAP based so you can disregard my question about SOAP. ------------ Walden H Leverich III President Tech Software (516) 627-3800 x11 (208) 692-3308 eFax WaldenL@TechSoftInc.com http://www.TechSoftInc.com Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.

I have a big UPS manual on how to get this thing to work. It looks like to me that I have to build a "request" XML document(includes information on package weight, zip code, adress, etc..), send it to the UPS Server using a post method, and the server will build a "response" XML document and send it back to me. I am new to XML and I really do not understand what or how I am going to do this. If you think I need to use this "SOAP" thing, let me know. I did however download the XML for RPG API's from alphaworks.ibm.com, but there examples are to vague. I would appreciate any help!!! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Walden H.
