Using code on the net in your own app, then Copyright your own app

[rmoyes02]

Just wondering how far you can go by using code found on the net...

For example, I found the following code on the net to map a drive...

Sub MapDrive(strDrive,strShare)
On Error Resume Next
WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive strDrive, strShare

If Err.Number Then
WSHNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive strDrive
WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive strDrive, strShare
End If
End Sub

Now, I know that I can't copy & paste this code, but if I were to remember this code, and use it in my app (code being slightly different), is that copyright infringment?

If so, then it seems to me that everything that i remember from text books will be infringing on copyright...
