When I attempt to publish to my site from the MyWeb floder, I'm getting a
"Server Error: '/images' does not refer to a page or folder in this web. It
may be a page in a folder or subweb, or it could be a badly formed URL."
pop-up. I have double and triple check my online file manager to make sure
that the /images folder is there, but it doesn't show up in the right pane of
the Publish window.

If the folder you're looking at is actually named: /images it's incorrectly named.
It should be: images.

Do you see it when you open the local version of your web in FrontPage??

I'm sorry....it isnt "/images". It is "images". Yes it shows up in the local
version, but in the right pane of the Publish Web window, the "images" folder
shows up with the MyWeb folder tpe(the one with the globe on it).

FYI...I originally used Y! Site Builder on this site, before switching to
FP. I don't know...maybe that started the problem?

I've gone into the File Manager, and tried to delete the "images" folder,
with the idea in mind, to just recreate it, but it won't let me delete it.
But, if I am understanding the error correctly, it is my local "images"
folder that is not being recognized.

The images folder should be inside your web and shouldn't be visible "along side" the My
Webs folder.

Additionally, My Webs shouldn't have a blue globe. There should be a folder ( directory
actually ) "inside"
My Webs that is your web site which has the blue globe, and which contains "all" of the
content for your web site.

It sounds like the images folder has been converted to a subweb.

Open your remote web site in FrontPage (use the link in Remote Site
view), right click on the images folder and choose "Convert to Folder"
If this works, open the images folder, and delete _private and images
folders that are inside it. (make sure they are empty first!)
