Haz-Shipper / WorldShip 4.0 Interface Setup Instructions

1. Download the file HazShipperWorldShip.exe from http://www.hazshipper.com/downloads/HazShipperWorldShip.exe.
   
   
2. Run HazShipperWorldShip.exe. It will create the directory c:\Program Files\HazWeb and place the interface files in this directory. If installing on a networked environment (Haz-Shipper and WorldShip are separate machines) then install the HazShipperWoldShip.exe on both machines.
   
   
3. Right-Click on the “Internet Explorer” icon on your desktop and select properties.
   
   
4. Select the Security tab and click on the “Custom Level…” button. (Figure 1).

5. On the Security Settings window make sure the “Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe” is set to Enable or Prompt (Figure 2). If chose Enable then other programs will be able to write to your hard-drive without your being aware of this activity. If you chose Prompt then every time you press the “Log to Manifest” button a message box will pop-up stating “An ActiveX control on this page might be unsafe to interact with other parts of the page. Do you want to allow this interaction”. Select Yes to write the small “interface” text file to directory c:\program files\hazweb.

6. If both WorldShip and Haz-Shipper are installed on the same machine then you have completed the setup for this interface. If WorldShip and Haz-Shipper reside on separate machines then proceed to step 7.
   
   
7. Run the file RegisterODBC from the c:\program files\hazweb directory on the WorldShip machine.
   
   
8. Chose the “Select Database” button (Figure 3) and select the Hazshipper.mdb on the remote machine in the c:\program files\hazweb directory. Once selected wait for the message box to pop-up with the message “Connection to the HazShipper.mdb has been set” to appear.

9. Once the connection has been established then close RegisterODBC.exe.
   
   
10. If the Interface works properly then you have completed the Interface setup for a networked environment. If the interface does not work then proceed to the remaining steps to check the setup.
    
    
11. The following steps check the ODBC connection from WorldShip to Haz-Shipper.
    
    
12. Press the Start button (bottom left-hand of your screen) then select Settings – Control Panel.
