Well, I don't know for sure 100% that word is using that driver. But I have
turned on the SQL trace in the Data Sources Control panel when word does a
merge. There is a lot of stuff logged, but its not incredibly useful.
Anyway, I want to do the same basic thing using ADO, so I was hoping that
someone from Microsoft might actually be helpful in determining how Word can
perform a mailmerge from a UTF8 or UTF16 encoded CSV file.
