Hi Vicky

Did you ever manage to resolve this issue? I have the same problem. I 
have written a site in ASP.NET that allows different countries to 
translate the text of a cental application. This works well for Germany 
and France but it doesn't seem to like Greek. I can see the greek 
characters in the page before saving to the database but once saved they 
are stored as ????. If I manually enter them into the database then they 
appear correctly in the central application (written is asp).

My web.config is set to encoding="utf-8" and I use a meta tag in the page 
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-7>

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

Peter Jones
