Kath, May I suggest you get some clarification regarding the situation here in Australia. My information had always been along the same lines as you state, however dealings with our federal govt forced me to change my opinion. The law actually states that governments (doesn't specify which) always retain copyright of any contracted work unless they specifically sign it away. I am not a lawyer so you should get a legal opinion if you feel this may ever be an issue for yourself. cheers Michael M That's interesting Stephen, because my advice here (Australia) has been that by default ownership rests with the developer, so I don't supply the FE mdb in every case. It is a case by case situation for me. Kath
