Make entire order free shipping if one item is free shipping

I apologize if this has been asked before but I couldn't find it anywhere.

I have some items free shipping and some not. Is there some way to tell ZC that if one item is free shipping, the whole order is free shipping?

For example, I might have a $150 item that I offer free shipping. If a customer adds a $10 widget to the order, they're charged shipping on the widget. I'd like to make that whole order free shipping and I can't do it with the order total option because I also have some $150 items that aren't free shipping.:unsure:

What shipping modules do you have installed at this time?

I have exactly the same problem. Our shipping costs are based on product weight. When the customer has a mixed order of free-shipping and not-free-shipping products, estimator takes the weight of all products (free and not-free) while calculating rates. Any suggestions to make the entire order free-shipping including the estimator will be helpful.

We have UPS and USPS shipping modules installed.

Thanks Linda. You always come to my rescue.

I currently have:
Flat Rate
Free Shipping Options
FREE SHIPPING!
United Parcel Service upsxml

This is a long version of how to test the qty for Always Free Shipping that is in the cart to disable the flat.php shipping module:

      // disable only when entire cart is free shipping
      if (zen_get_shipping_enabled($this->code)) {
          $this->enabled = ((MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false);
      }

      // test contents for Cases
       global $cart;
        $skip_free = false;
        $chk_case = 0;

        if (IS_ADMIN_FLAG == false) {
          $chk_case = $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('product_is_always_free_shipping', 1);
          if ($chk_case > 0) {
            $skip_free = true;
          }
        }
//echo 'Qty Always Free Shipping: ' . $chk_case . '<br>';
      // disable for 1 or more Always Free Shipping in cart
      if ((IS_ADMIN_FLAG == false && $skip_free)) {
          $this->enabled = false;
      }

You can use this to enable or disable modules based on the results ...

does the newest zen cart version have this feature? Or anybody else tested the above script does it work well?
