FrontPage 2003 crashes when applying DWT's

I have posted this on microsoft.public.frontpage.client as well but it's
duplicated here in case someone else has an answer.

I have a CSS driven site that I am trying to use Dynamic Web Templates with.
However; when I try to attach a template to a page it crashes FrontPage.
FrontPage also crashes when I try to update any pages that already have
DWT's attached.
The site is hosted by an ISP that has FP 2002 server extensions installed
but FrontPage also crashes on the local machine.

I can log onto the same site with Dream Weaver and do anything I like with
the DWT's without problems.
I have tried using DWT's with tables in the pages and the problem isn't
nearly as apparent but on any pages that rely on CSS positioning, the
crashes are instant.
Has anyon run across this before or know of a solution.

I am using FrontPage 2003 on a Windows Server 2003 machine.
The same problem occurs with FP 2003 on the clients' Windows XP machine,
both locally and on the server.
All pages have an ASP extension which I need for some of the other
programming I am using.
I have also tried a basic ASP page with nothing on it and the problem still
occurs.

As I suggested to the client to use Frontpage against their IT person's
recommendations, I'm the one that is now left to sort the problem out.

They are looking at purchasing 6 other licences once the problem is solved
but they are also now looking at spending the extra and purchasing copies of
Dream Weaver instead.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Grant Spencer.
