A very good start though for the connection, thank you. Our XML files are correct. UPS seems stumped (as in non-responsive suddenly due to no solid answer) as the files I send are perfect...so it has to be in the cfhttp post method we were using...can't think of anything else. We are 95% done with the code for the full suite from shipping to sig tracking, blah...but the damned connection was seeming to be a hold up I guess. Thanks again.
Anyone ever have that week that it seems like the years you have worked in a language meant nothing and made you feel like you were back at step one and second guessed all you did?

This can easily be made into a UDF too.
