UPS not enabled - can't enable it..

Hi, I have a fresh install of 1.3.8 a and UPS module is not allowing me to enable it. I've tried removing and reinstalling it...I've set the first field flag to true but the little round dot is still yellow...won't turn green, and when checking out it says:

We are unable to obtain a rate quote for UPS shipping.
Please contact the store if no other alternative is shown.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Attached is a screen shot of my shipping modules

How does the UPS module know the weight of my products?
Where do I enter the weight?

And do I need to enter dimensions as well?

(you can ignore my initial post..i figured out it was because I had a zone set...and therefore the button won't turn green). thx

You set the shipping weight when you create the product - it's at the bottom of that page.

Hi, I see the Canada Post settings but nothing else...
did it get removed when I installed the CP one or can I just use the CP one?

Hi ...can anyone help me out on this...i don't see anywhere to put the shipping weight or dimensions...it's there for the canada post module but i need it for UPS ..is it the same one? or where should it be?

see attachment of the bottom of my product detail page.

I don't think the Zencart UPS module handles dimensions.

When you enter a shipping weight for a product in the Canada Post area in your image, then try to buy that product using UPS, the weight doesn't show?

so how does the UPS modules calculate shipping?

Anyone able to help me out with this...

I'm not sure how the UPS module works. and the manual doesn't really go into any great detail.

Does UPS not need to know dimensions and weight? If so where do I put that info for each product? Cause I do not see it on my product details entry screen...

You didn't answer my question in post #6.

UPS (in the US, anyway) doesn't care about dimensions, just weight, unless you exceed their maximum dimension limits.

Cool...ok so where do I enter a products weight ?

In the Products Shipping Weight boxat the top of the green area in your screenshot. Then add a product to the cart and try to checkout using UPS to see if the weight is there.

I thought that was only for Canada Post...since it only appeared once I installed the CP module. OR did the CP module replace what was there previously?

Ok...so I picked a product

this one as an example b/c some don't have prices yet

And see screenshots for what happens...
i put the weight in as 1 lb.

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?
I noticed the dot beside the shipping module for UPS is only yellow not green...
