Can I add navigation arrows to PDF output in SSRS / Report Builder 3.0? - ssrs-2012

Somebody pulled the most random question on me today and I realized I'd never even considered it. What they wanted was my PDF rendering of an SSRS report to come standard with navigation arrows, i.e., previous page, next page. This started me looking at all the options that are available, which are actually kind of cool, and I was able to add on a table of contents, including bookmarks for a new number (e.g., if you're printing 5 invoices with 2-5 pages each into one long document, those will have the invoice number and you can jump to the beginning of that invoice), but I couldn't see anything about navigation links. In fact, most of what I've seen says that PDF's only can have navigation maps, i.e., the table of contents tab. So if anyone has any ideas on how I can do this, that would be great. I know it can be added after-the-fact with something like Blubeam, but that's not practical in this case.

As I mentioned in comments you can create a bookmark in each page. A bookmark can be added using the component DocumentMapLabel property almost all SSRS Report Items (Tablix, Textbox, Charts, etc) have.
If you don't have a title or a textbox at the very top of each page, add an empty textbox, be sure place them at the top of the page in order to each bookmark jumps to the beginning of the corresponding page.
Select the first textbox and press F4 to see the extended properties window, look for DocumentMapLabel and type Page 1.
In each page set the textbox DocumentMapLabel property to the corresponding page number.
When the report is exported to PDF, your PDF client shows the bookmark menu, containing a bookmark for each page. If you click on a bookmark it jumps to the related page.
This is how it looks in Adobe Acrobar Reader:
Let me know if this helps.

Why do Code Line Numbers Not Show in Inspector?

Is there a way to get numbers to show for the lines in the Inspector pane? I know Chrome does this by default, but I can't see an option for this in v. 109.0 of Firefox.
Looked in settings to get numbers to show.
You're probably mixing up things here. Both browsers provide two views to the source of your page.
Live DOM view
In Firefox this is called the Inspector, Chrome's name for it is Elements.
Those are accessed by right-clicking a page and choosing Inspect from the context menu or by pressing Ctrl+Shift+C, for example.
And those don't have an option to show line numbers, as far as I know. The reason for that is that those panels show the current DOM structure of a page and not the HTML source.
That means, they show a parsed and interpreted version of the HTML source including any changes made to the structure afterwards. So, if you add an element to the structure via JavaScript, for example, those view reflect that change.
And an author doesn't gain much by seeing line numbers on such a dynamic view because they don't really refer to anything.
The use case for this view is to see and manipulate the current state of the page's DOM (Document Object Model).
HTML source view
Besides the live DOM view of a page both browsers do have a way to view the initial unchanged HTML source of a page. And those views also do show line numbers.
In both browsers this feature is accessible e.g. via the option View Page Source in the page's context menu or by pressing Ctrl+U.
Firefox:
Chrome:
The use case for this view is to see the original source of a website as it was sent from the server or loaded locally.

Add buttons to sub-grid view

On the order form, there is a products section that has uses the default Order Product Inline Edit View. This view is not editable, but you can copy it and save it as a different name.
However, when you copy the view, the new view does not display all of the same buttons when viewing the sub-grid.
default view:
copied view (the lock pricing, move up and move down buttons are missing):
The copied view shows the + button and it's drop down menu correctly. Why hasn't it copied the other buttons, and how can i get them to show on my custom view?
I am happy to edit xml and upload that back to CRM if necessary.
Update:
FYI, this is all a pointless effort as the word template ignores the sequence order. What an utter waste of time.
I'm going to guess it's because the default view on the order of order products is a special one. It has special behaviours that arn't seen in the rest of 365, i.e. you don't get up, down, or lock on other views.
I would assume that the extra buttons only get shown on that default view and arn't really supported outside of that view.
Turns out it is actually quite easy to show these buttons for other views using the ribbon workbench.
Right click on the button in ribbon workbench under the subgrid section and click on customise
Select the command in the "solution elements" pane at the bottom
In the bottom right hand pane, right click on the enable rule "Mscrm.IsInlineEditView" and click "Remove from Command"
Publish
These buttons now show up for all views.

MS Access trying to link a record with a page tab

I've been searching for a few days and doing every word combination I can think of to try to find the answer to my issue. I'm hoping someone can help me.
Before I begin I'd also like to say I'm very new to Access and admittedly not great with it. I'm still learning so this could be a very easy fix or I may have messed up beyond belief.
The issue I'm having is I've setup several page tab on a form and entered all the information for my records. However I cannot get the page tabs to pull up the corresponding records. Instead I have to either search through the records which doesn't always work or I have to arrow to the right record after selecting the tab I want. I'd like it so that when I click the tab it brings up the proper record automatically. If someone can point out where I'm going wrong and how to fix it I would greatly appreciate it. See below for some pics of what I mean.
As you can see in the first image. The tab name "Auto PLUS" doesn't bring up the proper record. instead I have to manually change the record using the arrows at the bottom of the form (see the arrow at the bottom of the image) in order to change the record. I need the record and the tab to match. Any help would be so greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help!!

Assuming your form is bound (if in design mode your fields do NOT say "Unbound" then your form is bound), you simply need to add some VBA code to each tab's OnClick event.
Enter design mode and select the first tab "Claims Other". Open the properties pane, click the event tab, and click the ellipsis at the end of the OnClick line. When prompted, select "Code Builder" and it should launch the Visual Basic Editor.
It will put your cursor automatically in the correct position. Copy/Paste:
DoCmd.GoToRecord acDataForm, Form1, acGoTo, 1
The 1 should correspond to "Claims Other's" proper record in your table. Use the row number, not the ID number to determine what it should be.
Go back to Form View and click on the "Claims Other's" tab. The data should show the corresponding record in your table.
Repeat the steps of adding events to each tab, finding the relevant record in your table, and replacing the 1 from the above code.

Visual Foxpro 9.0

I have a programming problem in Visual FoxPro, create a form that contains PageFrame with 2 Page.
1. On Page 1, Create a program to display data in the grid and give the sorting facilities, navigation and search.
2. On Page 2, create a program to calculate volumeTabung and spacious blanket.
Can anyone provide a solution? thank you
Although this is not DOING the answer, but a simple guide.
In the VFP command window,
Create Form [whatever form name you want]
Once form is up, look at the toolbar for "Form Controls". Click on the "PageFrame" control and then click on the form... There, you have a default pageframe with 2 pages as a default.
The "Properties" window should be visible by default. Click on the combobox on at the top which shows all controls. Open the drop-down and you will see "Page1" and "Page2" of the page frame control. Click on either page, and that will bring focus to that respective page.
Now, click on the Forms Controls toolbar again, such as to grab textbox, label, combobox, whatever and then click on the page and your controls are there. Then get focus to the second page and do the same for whatever you want.
Save and run the form. This just gets you to see the controls and how simple to put them on. Actual pulling your data and populating is really more your "to do" list.

SL3 dataform validation indicators don't show in tab pages

I have a Prism/SL3 application with a tab control and each page of the tab control is a "Region" that has its own view and viewModel. when I want to validate the main page, I call dataForm.ValidateItem(), then I go to all the child views and do the same. the problem is, only the pages which user has clicked on them (on the tab page), get instantiated and the pages that are never shown, don't have their view instantiated, thus I can't validate them.
any help?
I created a psuedo work around for this. It's very hacky, but it does work. My example involved walking the visual tree (up and down) to find respective controls that are invalid and then "expanding" the selected item. I have used an accordian in my example, but have also tested this with tab:
