I have owned a software company for over 20 years. It is customary when
developing a system (of any kind) for a customer to provide the source code.
The only time I have not is when I felt there were resale possibilities.
Then the client was given a special price and the intent was made clear.
I don't suppose you have a written contract?
Take this guy to small claims court. Changes are very good that the judge
will rule that the programmer has to turn over the source code.
Regards,
Paul

Subject: "Source Protected" system on TS 6
Hello to all after a multi-year break from TS.
I stopped after version 4, went on to other software; now have been seduced
back to version 6. I'd hoped things would be different this time - but here
comes heartburn, right out of the box.
I hired a fellow to write code for a system.
He delivered, it ran, I sent him a check.
A bit later I decided to look at the code. Pop up window says, "The
following files can not be opened because they are source protected."
Called the programmer. His answer, "You paid me to code the system. If you
want to see the code, it will cost you the same three hundred dollars
again."
There it is, Omega heartache # 10,000...
I know there were unlock codes available in the old days.
If anyone has any suggestions about getting around this in TS6, I'd
appreciate very much hearing from you. (If you don't want to post to the
group I'm at mailto:billmasi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx )
Many thanks,
Bill M
