jpg photo import question

[Gregory_I]

I have a photo database which has gotten quite large. I import new photos to the file daily. The location of the stored photos on my hard drive never changes. To conserve space I would like to import the pictures as a file referance only. My problem is when you import a few pictures from a folder that contains 10k pictures it is quite time consuming. Is there any way I can script filemaker to import only the pictures that were created the day I want to do the import?

Another problem I have is I often work through a vpn from remote locations. If I import photos using a referance rather than the actual file. I can not view the photo when I connect through the vpn. I get a message "The file can not be found". When I work from the LAN I can view the picture perfectly fine. Is there a work around for this problem?
