Some time ago my employer comsissioned a VB programmer to develop an application for us. During the development I started to take an interest in VB myself and over the next 18 months developed my skills to the point where I could maintain the application myself. Since then I have been trying in vain to obtain the source code to bring the development in house. Several phone calls and tens of emails have been exchanged to this effect and the programmer has agreed, both verbally and in writing, to send me the source code. Despite this I have received nothing, with the programmer adamant that it must have been ‘lost in the post’ (this has happened 3 times!). I have also requested that the source be emailed to me, which he refuses to do. I have CC’ed to his Managing Director to which he again agreed to comply, but still nothing. I suspect that either poor ethics are at play here, or the source code has been lost. What do you guys think?
