If the datatype of the column is nvarchar, you think you will need to set the web page charset/encoding to Unicode (UTF-8). I am not conversant with Dreamweaver, but I am sure it has a property that lets you set this somewhere. If you want to check this, right click on the webpage in the browser, and select Encoding->UTF-8. Your Greek characters should show up properly now. If they are not, then I guess the problem lies elsewhere, and there is little point in changing the charset of the page.Owais
