If he was an employee, then the company has all rights to the program. Period. He could be subject to fines and/or jail time for what he did.

>Hello,
>I have to modify an application that was written on Visual FoxPro 6 several years ago.
>The programmer who wrote it left our company and deleted all the source code. I tried to decompile the exe with REFOX and found it was encrypted and asks for a password. Is there any way to restore a source code? Efforts to contact the programmer have gone unanswered (he did not leave on good terms). I desperately need this password or I have to rewrite this huge and complicated application?
> Thanks in advance.
