How do I get my pictures to pull from the remote server?

I just bulit a web page in Frontpage for the first time and it was very
easy. My only problem is that when I publish to a remote site the HTML code
still links the pictures to my local drive (file) so the pictures don't show
up (unless you are on my computer). I have all the images in an /image
sub-folder and I thought it would atomatically transfer them and link to them
on the remote server. It did transfer them but the HTML code still points to
my local harddrive -- how do you get that to update (without manually
recoding each image code) to pull the image from the remote server.

1) You must first create an actual web in FP, then open it and create your
pages.
2) When working on your pages, you must have the web open, first. Then,
File | Import the images into your images folder before inserting them and
saving them on a page.

You do this by not simply creating a page, but creating a *web* in
FrontPage. Then you import the images into the web, which updates the Server
Extensions for that web, before you insert them into a page in that web,
and when you publish, all of the links are managed to point to the remote
location, as well as being uploaded.
