The best way to use FrontPage is to have a local copy of the website on your
hard disc, and edit that local copy. This means that a copy of every file
on your FTP site is on your hard disc, within that local web site.

Open FrontPage, then File->Open web and open the local website. Edit what
has to be edited. Add images from the LOCAL web site, not from the FTP
site. When the page is saved, the path from page to image will be a
relative path, which will work wherever the web is published to.

Note that any new images must be imported into the local website before
being inserted onto a page - not doing this *will* create file references to
your hard drive.

When editing is complete, publish the local website to your FTP site - all
paths will be correct, and the two sites will be synchronised.
