Basically what is happening is the "new guy in town" wants an easy break and to get a look at how a real designer does work.
My thoughts on this matter are the client purchased the right to use the content management system that I created - not the actual content management system itself. I have no qualms over providing the client with the content and mailing lists stored in the database - as the textual content was all supplied by them, and the email addresses were collected for their purposes.
I do take issue with handing over source code when in the beginning there was an understanding that they did not want source code - yet now when the new guy wants to learn something really quick, suddenly the source code is necessary.
The sad part of the entire situation is that the code still remains on their 3rd party shared hosting providers server - its just that the new guy doesn't know how to use an FTP program to download.
I do see what many of your are saying though - I will have to consider what to do further as from programmers I am getting an answer more leaning towards handing it all over, and from graphic artists I am getting a response saying that it's as much mine as a negative is to a photographer.
This has certainly taught me the benefit of just hanging up when you get that bad vibe from the beginning.
