Unable to retrieve data when using Greek characters in statement

Hi,

I'm trying to do retrieve some data from a table where the content is
in Greek, however, the
query is not working. It's a very simple statement, but I'm missing
something.

Here is the table...

if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].
[REPORT_LOCALE]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[REPORT_LOCALE]
GO

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[REPORT_LOCALE] (
[XL_REPORT_ID] [int] NULL ,
[TEXT_NAME] [nvarchar] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
NULL ,
[LOCALE] [int] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

The first statment shows me a number of rows. I copied the content of
the Text_Name column and paste
it into QA to form the second statement. However, the second statement
returns no data.

SELECT * FROM Report_Locale

SELECT * FROM Report_Locale WHERE Text_Name = 'Λογ.Διαχ. – Τρ.-Προυπ.-
Διαφ.'

Hopefully the Greek characters will display properly within this post,
but the idea is basically to take the Greek text and build that into a
query. I can do the remainder later once I understand why this does
not work as I expect. I realise my expectation is based on doing
things in English so I need to understand the differences. We've done
this for various other languages using other character sets, which is
why I am puzzled.

Any pointers ?

Thanks


Ryan
