Hi everyone.
This may be an unusual question for this forum, but I'll dig as much out of you guys as I can.
I am actually a truck driver who took an interest in computers about a year ago.
I have quickly been elevated to "guru" status at my local office, which does not say alot, but does afford me the oportunity to make alot more money than my counterparts.
I purchased Microsoft Visual Studio and have mostly done my work in VB. Have recently started to learn Excel as well. Purchased Office 2000.
Some of the work for various projects has been done at work, some at home.
To the point. I just found out that a copy of an extensive Excel project I created was just sent to a similiar account in another state. They are also requesting copies of several fairly large VB projects as well.
My question is. Who owns this software?
I was paid and am not trying to be greedy, but I feel somewhat usurped. The Excel project is locked and some editing will be needed to customize for the new location. They want the password for one of their people to edit my code. They also want the source code from my VB projects. Can they demand this? The VB projects were written soley on my purchased Visual Studio.
I searched the web and could find nothing that seemed relevant to my question.
As always, I appreciate the help.
Tom
