When I publish from my local disk to a web server, the hperlinks on my index
page remain pointing to files on my local disk instead of translating to
those on the web server.
 
You need to make sure you import all your pages and images into your local
web before linking to them so they are relative (or absolute) links to the
site and not pointing to your Hard Drive (ex: file:///)

It is only the index page that is affected. All other links in the
remaining multiple pages get translated correctly. I have gone through all
the graphics and page links on the index page and made some changes so that
all graphics and pages are within the local directory, but the index links
still refuse to translate after republishing the complete website.
 
You must have a web open first, and all content must have been created in or imported into the
current open web before it is used or linked to, otherwise you do end up with link point back to
your HD.

All links in your home page (http://iibsouthtexas.org/index.htm) are pointing to your hard drive as
file:///C:/IIBSouthTexas/.....

That is because you have at the top in html/code view
<base href="file:///C:/IIBSouthTexas/index.htm" fptype="TRUE">

Delete that tag and republish

Indeed that solved the problem. Thank you Stefan. Apparently this tag was
inserted at some time by FP as a result of some change I made in the site and
then not removed when I reversed the change.
