Hi,

I have tried creating the database without any codepage settings and
the problem still occurs. I've tried both "lc_ctype=WIN1253" set and
not set when connecting.

I'm really at a loss as to what the problem could be!

Would it be possible for somebody to send me a simple Delphi project
which works on their system with Greek letters using IBX and
TDBGrid? It would be much appreciated. If you can help me out,
please send it to paul@... (replacing .nospam
with .com).

Much appreciated.

Paul
