I've used James Coleman's[^] tutorial but its not very feasible. Obviously theres rarely any hosts who will allow files to be stored on their server. The other method was using IIS to add a map path for the file types which need authenticating again hosts rarely alter IIS for you. Anyone had exp of SSL ?

i found my answer use N'stringwhichhasunicode' instead of just using 'stringwhichhasunicode' whenever you use an instance of it. EG: INSERT INTO TABLE VALUES(N'value1','value2' SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE Column = N'unival' Atul

Thank you, Stored procedures had completed slipped my mind. I'll have a go with stored procedues later and see what i can come up with Atul
