Sorry,
I could not reply due to weekend. I have noted all the comments/reply. As noted rightly by David McRitchie, I have no content of my own. This is surly a collection only. What I have done is to modify the code to my requirement or some twesting just to understand how it works. I can not have my contents. Thats just imposible for that to happen, I must be an expert like you MVPs which is almost impossible. I am not a programmer. I am a simple office user. When I first saw google NG, I was facinated by what can be acheived and it just looks like magic. This has greatly reduced my pain of collecting the data, summarise it, preparing various reports, and automating most of my reports leaving me free to learn more and more. As suggested by many of you, I should remove the files and put discriptions and link to original files, it will be huge time consuming job. (due to fact that I have to find out the link which may or may not be possible. Pl give me some time. I will put links and discription as suggested wherever I find it. If I could not trace the original link, I will surely remove the file itself. Once that is done, I think I will be out of all such copyright problems. Thank you very for your valuable comments and response. I will still approach you for any of my problems with a hope that you will still help me out. Regards, David McRitchie wrote: So far it looks like you have no content of your own, even the links page which would be the easiest for you to create are lines ripped off from http://www.mvps.org/links.html pasted directly into Front Page from a Front Page page. That's why the links look exactly alike. International copyright laws are pretty much the same throughout most of the world, Hosting sites do not permit you to break the law; otherwise, they themselves would be held accountable, but they would certainly shut you down if they examined your site or received a complaint and then looked at your site.. http://info.lycos.com/legal/legal.asp#Infringement HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Stephen Bullen" wrote in message ... As seems to be the consensus, anything you create based on answers in the newsgroups is fine for you to post on your set. However, the same can not be said for anything you read or download from a web site. Instead of copying the items to your site, you should show a simple description of the code/utility and provide a link to the author's site, where the details can be viewed and the file can be downloaded. To that end, please remove from your site all the files you downloaded from my site (www.oaltd.co.uk or www.bmsltd.ie) and replace them with descriptions and links. Thanks Stephen Bullen "spareus" wrote: 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.
