Write / Print Same Record

I have a subForm populated from a main form, but I only write the record if
specific conditions are met. Once they are met though, I want the user to
click a button on the subform and add the record and print that specific
record at the same time.

I was trying to use AddNewRec, but I can't do that because once they add the
record that way, the subForm clears and the button gives an error message.
Is there a way to update the table and print that same record? For example
instead of an AddNewRecord, is there an UpdateTable or and UpdateNewRecord?

Any help would be appreciated.

AddNewRecord does just that - it stops what you are doing and adds a new
(blank) record.

To save the current record to disk use

If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False

or

DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord

You can then use the OpenReport method to open a report to print the record;
use the optional WhereCondition argument to pass a unique ID to specify which
record should be printed.
