save/print/close

I have a form that creates a new ticket. Click save on the form and the form
closes and updates the form underneath. I would like to print a report from
this form when I hit the save button all at the same time.

Here is what I have been working with.

Private Sub btnAddNewMaint_Click()
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stReportName As String

stDocName = "frmCustomer"
stReportName = "rptMaintTicket"

MsgBox "Print a copy for tech to printer xxxxxxxx.", vbOKOnly, "Tech
Ticket"

DoCmd.OpenReport stReportName, acPreview
DoCmd.Close

DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName
'refresh
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, 5, , acMenuVer70

End Sub

This seems to flash the Preview screen but closes it. Also the form is left
open.
Can this be done in one action?

Instead of DoCmd.Close be specific and write
DoCmd.Close acForm, "NameOfForm"

The reason it keeps showing a preview is because your code for
DoCmd.OpenReport has acPreview at the end. I don't remember the exact
option on it, but it will pop up when you go to change it.

I do want it to preview. Problem now is that the report does not have the
data entered that was just entered. I guess it has not been written to the db
yet, until it closes. Any other way of doing this?

I guess this can not be done.
