When you find an employer like that, please let us know.

I like it! You left them the code, it's not your fault they could not find
it. Maybe you could put it under that one desk leg that wobbles a little.

I'm not really concerned about burning bridges here. I've got a boat.
;-)
My concern is that I want these people to know just how stinking much I have
done for them. A quick valuation of the work I have done, at low outside
pricing of $45/hr sets the value of the work done at around $80,190 and I
was recompensed less than 20% of that. Now I don't mind that, I signed on
knowing that full well. What I do mind is the fact that they have
consistently tried to make me feel guilty for even being paid what I am
being paid. Remember, no benefits or holidays either.
I have set up our system so that day to day updates can be completed by
someone without HTML/CFML knowledge. So that makes it real easy for the next
developer to come in and look good.
I suppose my motivation is petty. Perhaps instead of denying them the
source, I'll just leave a somewhat anonymous diskette with the un-encrypted
source on it, so they have to look around a little and experience a little
panic. That's pretty petty too. But I'm feeling a little petty.
As for the application itself, it's really just a form that does simple
update/insert/deletes and basic DB mods. For the text editor I used EZedit's
freeware, which is worth way more than the price IMHO!
It's not really anything that any of you here couldn't do in about half the
time it took me. And most of you would probably do it way better than I.
