Dynamically create a snapshot

We would like to dynamically create a snapshot, based on other events. We
have snapshots based on tables which are created from overnight processes,
but which can sometimes overrun. Snapshots scheduled to run at fixed times
can then fail because the tables don't yet exist.
Any thoughts on this please ?
Thanks in advance.

Mike StephenMike,
Reporting Services has a web service method named
CreateReportHistorySnapshot. You can create a script to call this method
programmatically...
Searching for the method name in books online will get you started, then you
can back up into the Web services and scripting calls.
