Thanks for the info, I will check it out.

As far as I can tell, UPS actually doesn't ship to APO addresses so I 
think the problem would still exist. The problem I am trying to 
trap/intercept is detecting when an APO address is entered so I can stop 
the transaction. As it is now, UPS just returns a $0 shipping amount. 
The problem is that on certain items a $0 amount is ok, so I can't just 
do a simple check.

However, I think with the info that Greg provided earlier, I should be 
able to do a regex on the zip code ranges and get the info I need.

I appreciate the feedback though.
