Reporting system, the data from the PLC Simatic S7-300 / 400

Recommend a good program to create reports that will take the data from the OPC Server???

There is a network PLC Siemens, old SCADA FactoryLink, you need to make the system reports (record in the database, export in exel, etc.), do it in a exist. SCADA will not.

We would like to put one station set back SimaticNET, making it the OPC server.
Then you can go two ways ...
1. himself to write a program (OPC Client) using opc .. dll (for example, C ++ Builder), but I'm not good at programming, database / reports, etc. So this way are not considering.
2. Take the finished product for reports, for example, crystalreports, connect it to the OPC server and generate reports.
While this is the main option!

when compared with Dream Report or Crystal Reports.. that it is better???
Dream Report as I understand, is a very powerful product, but it does not have crack
Crystal Reports as I understand, is a very powerful product, but now it is not clear how to connect to the OPC Server?
