I'm working with a web site someone else built to get it up to date untill we get our new site up and running. The problem is when i open the site in front page i cant see any of the photos the links are good and still work when i upload the site but i cant see them in layout form. Any help would be appreciated.

Probably becuase when you edit the site locally, the links point to a local directory, which either doesn't exist, or doesn't have the pics in it.
When you publish the page, it points to the directory on the webserver, and the pics are there.
So, for example, you are working on the website and there is an image at
When you are working LOCALLY, frontpage is using a directory on YOUR hard disk, not the webserver.
If you need to see the pics while you work, you need to downloadthem, and put them in a local directory with the same relative path as it is on the webserver.
