Alice-  First I want to congratulate you for taking the high road.  It never fails, what goes around comes around, I have seen it too many times.  I recently had a similar situation happen to me.  Started a project and worked with another person when the project got to a point where conceptually I knew what needed to happen from a process standpoint, but technically had to rely on their expertise.  Although I had met with IT with this person and even met with my boss and this person to get final approval, when the new online process was demontrated to the team on a team conference call webex, my name never came up and this person took all of the credit.  Even to the point of where I asked questions and she talked over me on the call and never responded to my questions.  I was upset, but took the high road.  My boss knows the truth. Needless to say, I do not trust this person and when she needs to meet with my boss on matters, I hate to say it, but I do not show flexibility in the schedule like I used to.  I control his time and don't let her schedule at her convenience. It is, unfortunately, a part of "office life".  There are some out there that just feel the need to get "kudos" any way they can and take credit for someone elses efforts.
