Open existing report with Report Builder?

Greetings,
I would like to be able to open an existing server report for editing with
Report Builder. I have done a lot of investigation but have not come across
anything. I know that Report Builder can be launched by navigating to
http://<localhost>/reportserver/reportbuilder/reportbuilder.application (or
similar).
Does anybody know if this is possible?
TIA, Justin.Hi Justin,
Report Builder uses a Report Model to create ad hoc reports.
In Business Intelligence Developement studio select File | New |
Project.
In the Business Intelligence templates you see three options for
Reporting Services. The Report Model project is what you need to
create to be able to use Report Builder.

Thanks for the feedback but that is not quite what I meant.
If you open Report Builder, cancel the New Report dialog and then go File |
Open, you will get a list of all reports stored on the Report Server. The
end user can then open, edit and save an existing report (permissions
allowing).
I would like to be able to do this programmatically so that my ASP.Net pages
can have a link to edit specific existing reports.
If this is not currently possible, it would be a fantastic addition to
Report Builder's functionality.
Regards,
Justin.
