Zoho dies very slowly ..... development becomes impossible

Zoho dies very slowly ..... development becomes impossible

Update: 2011m06d10     The Zoho staff has been very helpful and now I am well on my way to accomplishing what I wanted to do   Hooray

I was building a spreadsheet to monitor inventory.  I had some ideas that I liked and everything seemed to be going along well.  I asked some questions and I was told that Creator might be a better fit.  I tried Creator and it seemed nice.  My partner did not like it though.... so I returned to using Sheet.   At the time I returned to Sheet .... I was 70% done with my initial development.  I liked how everything was coming together.

Now I discover that Sheet won't run the macros correctly any more.  I tried opening up a new Sheet and pasting the macro scripting over to the new Sheet.  This did not fix the problems.  Next I tried using the macro record function to see if I could create some macros that worked.  Nope... this did not work either.

At this point I was becoming paranoid... had I offended the Zoho gods ?   I was even seeing the macro scripting change and develop typos when I had done nothing to the code.

So I started out liking Zoho ( although it definitely was a large learning curve. )   ... Now I would advise developers to stay away from Zoho.  I am really puzzled by what has happened.
