There is microsoft report builder which comes with visual studio licence (I think) - look for rdl and rdlc file types when you click add new item in VS. If you don't have the license for VS 2010 you should download and use free VS 2013 Community edition.

Other then that, Crystal Reports are free and powerful.

Both tools have a learning curve for more complex stuff, but basic reports can be whipped out in no time. MS report builder has the advantage here since it comes with predefined themes for headers and document types.

If this helps please take time to accept the solution. Thank you.
