This project involves the creation of a Visual Basic 6 OCX component which retrieves shipping rates and generates shipment paperwork using integration API's provided by FEDEX, UPS and the US postal service. The end component needs to provide standardized methods ([login to view URL], [login to view URL], [login to view URL], etc) to be called from a parent application and will implement the HTML/XML internet calls automatically based on the specified shipping provider. This COM object will communicate with the Fedex Ship Manager API, UPS WebTools and USPS WebTools, all of which will be provided to the programmer with test login information.
