Well,
Thanks to all of you for your reply. Actually when I started pickingup
the code from NG or various sites, I only intended to keep it to myself
as a referance (Mostly I save the page by Save as in IE) so that I do
not have to search the NG or wab again for the same. So in most cases I
do not know the actual URL from where I saved it. But I have informed
the visitors for the same by putting it in BIG BOLD RED fonts. I also
put the links to MVP's sites on my links page. I think it should
suffice but still it is always better to ask experts.

Any comments/sugessions are always welcome.
Regards,

Speaking personally, anything I publish usually consists of
adaptations of
techniques I have picked up over the years, or have developed as my
skills
improve. Acknowledging everyone involved would be impossible, or
pointless.
Anything I publish is effectively given at that point, unless I
include a
notice to the contrary (very rare), and so anyone is free to do with
it as
they will.

As Harald says, if you have a specific technique or solution that you
know
was first presented by person A, credit them, or better still link to
their
website if they have one.

I have collected lot of code samples and few files from this news
group
as well as MVP's sites. Many a times I have modifies the code to
suit
my requirements. I do not have a single book or never attended any
classes to learn excel or VBA. I have learnt a great deal from this
NG
as well as googling the net about excel and VBA.

My friends are now many times consulting me for their problems in
excel
or vba (Although I still consideer my self as novice or at the
most
intermidiate level). They insist me to put my small collection on
web
for referance by them. Since most of the code is from this NG and
individual MVP's sites, I fill it necessary to ask you if I can do
that.
I have put some files on net (with free web hosting services
offered by
Tripod)
URL is http://xlvba1.tripod.com/

Since I am not aware of the cyber laws, I request you, in case if
you
feel that anything is wrong, pl let me know and I will remove the
same
from site.
