Scales do not work when using the ShipRush ActiveX


Applies to: ShipRush v3 SDK


Issue: 
The weight is not pulled from the scale when the custom application
is used. If interactive ShipRush is used the weight is pulled from the scale,
but from the custom application it is not.


Background:
This problem will only be seen if the scale was configured using interactive
ShipRush. If the scale is configured by invoking ShipRush settings from the
custom application, the scale should work.

Note: The FIRST step is to get the scale configured and working in Stand Alone
ShipRush.


Workaround:

-Exit your custom application.

-Find the ShipRush program directory. By default this is:
   "C:\Program Files\Z-Firm LLC\ShipRush v3\"

-In this directory, find all the .ini files. There will be one file
   that starts with TZF and then has the scale name. For example, for
   Fairbanks scales the file is: 
        TZFFairbanksScale.ini

-Copy this file to your application program EXE directory. If using
   Visual Basic, .NET, C++ or other compiled tool, this will be the
   directory where your application .exe resides.

   If using Microsoft Office, Access, or other run time tool, this will
   be the directory of the 'host' .exe. For example, for Microsoft Access 2003
   the directory is: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\"

-Start your application. Test for proper operation.


This issue is a defect in ShipRush v3 and will be corrected in a future
version.
