Exactly!
I'm inserting into a text field not a big string so it's ok for me.
Don't know if this is a bug of 7.0 or 8.0 but maybe it handles charset
differently.
I'm using ISO-8859-7 of course (Greek)

Regards,
Spyros

This is a workaround, not a correct fix.
TDS7/8 have other features that do not work using TDS4.2 (varchar of
more
that 255, RPC, dynamic query...)
I'm italian so I use default (Latin1) without any problem.
I don't understand your problem. 
You are using varchar field (or nvarchar?), inserting something like
alpha-beta-gamma, and when you issue a select other characters return??
