Description: Zoho Creator is many things: an online database application, data management software, spreadsheet to database application and a web form builder. It's a great place to create online databases either collaboratively or to share with others. The built-in form builder allows you to easily create surveys that drop your data directly into a database. This is great for data collection. I have to admit, I haven't spent much (hardly any) time with this program. I just discovered it a few days ago, so I'm not sure exactly what I think of it. If you try it out please tell me more about what you think in the comments area.
