Warning

PrintWindow is intended to replace a regular screen-shot program. It is not intended to replace your custom reports.

You will see the main differences on the list boxes handling. While a report can print, for example, multiple parent-child levels, a PrintWindow printout will print only what you currently see on the window. Under certain circumstances some data can be expanded beyond its horizontal or vertical limits, but there are limitations inherent to the system, like when you have two listboxes on a window, one child of the other. The child listbox will show the data related to the selected record on the parent listbox. The same will happen on the PrintWindow printout.

Think of PrintWindow as a screen-shot replacement with a lot of enhancements and flexibility, but don't think of it as a custom report replacement, because on same cases (like when working with listboxes) it is not.

Said that, many people are indeed using PrintWindow to save a lot of report generation.
