In your case, I recommend, as a practical and quick first step to
simply cast the whole site into a two col table, what you have in
the left frame goes into the left col on each page, the right
frame, of course, is replaced by the content into a right col.
naturally, you will have to modify a few links but it is very
easy work and the whole thing is greatly assisted by a good grasp
of Search & Replace functions that come with good text editors.
You can do a lot of this conversion out of frames automatically
and quickly. Believe me, I have done it and was glad to be out of
frames for a reasonable sized website a while back.

When you have less time pressure, you can then look into getting
rid of what many people will tell you is a (lesser than frames)
evil: tables for layout. The next step, if you want to take it,
is to later convert out of tables, a left floated navigation and
right content is good if done carefully. But don't go there yet
no matter what others say, you will get into time trouble.

Your use of tables in your right frame is irrelevant to my advice
here. But this one makeover will solve the problem you were
facing about linking.
