We're looking to recruit a VB programmer to work on one of our Excel projects that we sell to clients - maintaining it, helping to develop it, bug-fix, etc. My question is how can I safeguard our intellectual property while employing someone who has the necessary skills but who won't take the project and re-sell it?

This sounds like a dumb question, and apologies to those who think it is, but I thought I'd come right out and ask it in this forum.

Feedback and suggestions would be gratefully received.

Thanks.
