Best Design for reports over time

Hi everyone,
I am designing a reporting system for the internet using Reporting
Services. Is there a way to access the historical snapshots
programmatically? We are displaying the reports in the browser by
linking to them in the url, but that brings up the current month's
report. We want to be able to run the report monthly(different data)
and generate a snapshot, then link to the snapshots from the custom
ASP.Net application.
Can we do this? Is is there a better way?
Thanks in advance,
ShawnJust render a history snapshot and look at the generated URL. The URL will
look like this:
http://ServerName/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%SomeReport&HistoryID=2005-05-11T22:25:40
The HistoryID identifies the history snapshot in UTC time.
