Hello,
ahmed232323,
May it be that you have forgoten to add codepage=utf8 in the properties of TZConnection? I assume your database is utf8 encoded....
Good luck!
P.S. I'm not working with MSSQL, PostgreSQL is a DBMS I like

Hello
ahmed232323,
I didn't find codePage property in TZConnection?.
well, there isn't. You should enter the line "codepage=utf8" to the TZConnection.Properties . I don't know if that will help for sure, but it's the way it works for postgresql...
Good luck.
