Thanks Ed, yes, I checked Tools/Security/General and it shows Design Shop Pro+ but only Amaya 2005 Flex. I think we have a "minor" problem of being given the wrong update code--they only gave us Amaya 2005 Flex ---and not Flex+. Yes, I do have our original invoice, packing slip, email, etc. showing we purchased "Plus" upgrade for both. Will call Melco first thing in the morning and get a new code. Guess that explains why we don't see "Advanced Mode" huh? LOL Thanks. Sharon ----- Original Message ----- From: "E.
