(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hi everyone - I have never done this. A friend works as a mechanic and has asked me to see if I can make a program that would allow his customers to log in and see their previous service records.

Basically, he uploads the records (doc format) from the previous day and a customer uses my program (that I am going to make...somehow) with a unique username/password which then filters out his invoices only.
For filters, I was thinking of putting name or bike reg. or something unique to him in the doc title for simpler filtering

I did look at google drive, but I got a bit lost with their dev section Happy

Anyways, has anyone else done anything similar?

P.S. In case your were wondering, I have been trying to learn c# and made a program that simplifies his invoice making and was a great success...I only did it as a small project to prove to myself I can do it...I wass only showing off - didn't expect him to use it Happy
Thats when this proposition came up Smile

Sounds reasonable, I'd just use MySQL and build a front end in whatever language you want.

ok, I have had a look and I am about as confused as I can be Happy

am I right in thinking I (basically) register with a hosting site that supports wordpress, install wordpress and then I can upload invoice.docs to the hosting site.

then I can make a program in c# to log a person in to view his/her invoice...maybe even get a list of their invoices back into the program so that they dont have to go on the site

or something along those lines Happy

Mysql requires some form of hosting. Have it be you hosting it on your machine or paying a hosting provider.

If i hosted on my pc, could others still get their documents? Or is that what hosting sites are for?
