The fpse are on the host's server.
The can also be on your local machine but not necessarily (not sure about
when using Publisher - I don't think so)
You're the only one using extensions?...big clue here that you host is not
well versed in their use.

| Sorry for sounding thick - I am at the edge of my ability here! Is it
| on my machine that the FrontPage is likely to be corrupt and need
| reinstalling? - if so are they with MS Office or Windows XP?
|
| My webhost says I am the only one using FPSE - assuming theirs hasn't
| been corrupted by me.
|
| If it is just mine, do I have to recreate the website locally and then
| HTTP, or just reload, or just delete and re-create the form?
|
| Thanks again - I owe you all a beer!
