Using Dreamweaver MX04, when I link an image that already exists in my remote image folder to a page, it does not show up in design view, only a small grey box.
When I publish the page, the image displays in a browser. What's going on?

I have had this issue several times in DW and FP. I still don't know why it happens, but I did finally figure out how to stop it when it does happen. I rename the image and for what ever weird reason this works for me every time - until the next time the software monsters take over lol ----- sigh 
PS: oops - very sorry ! I reread your post ( it is after 5AM here, and I am tired ), my image issue was the opposite. It would show up in design but not in published. Sorry for the misunderstanding on my end.

from my experience with dreamweaver is that when i had this problem before it was because the photo was not saved in the remote server folder

Did you try my idea of renaming the images?

If you see a small Grey box, it indicates that the application or the browser can't "see" the actual image. If you see the image in the published mode, the path has been referenced appropriately for that. An example will amplify this:
Assume that you reference an image like this -
In the "published version" the image lives in a directory called as image straight off from the document root directory. On the other hand, in your development computer it lives - let us say - here:(I am using Unix convention here for ease of use)
/projects/project_a/image/

That's one reason why I always install Apache and PHP and use that to browse the website at http://localhost/ or else I locally force a test.example.com domain using the HOSTS file.

Yep, sounds like a path/access issue for DW.
I just ignore it, make the the image path/location is accurate to match the real world, and move forward with the rest of the design.
