Oops ... I left out one step ... you receive an instance handle of
the DLL from SQLGetInfo() which you can use to call the Win32 API
function GetModuleName(), and THAT you can compare with your list of
supported DLLs.

Sorry for the confusion.

Thank you for your reply.

I have considered all the options which you have mentioned. The reason
for me to go for hard coding the options is

a) The flat file drivers (like excel, access and text...) go to the
same dll.
b) when i use getInstalldrivers or some other functions to get info
about the drivers present on the system how to I filter the particular
driver to use.
Ex: If i have to make a text driver how do I filter the text driver
and In my case I am supporting only microsoft drivers so How do I
filter the microsoft text drivers out of the list.

I feel microsoft uses some particular variable or parameter which
differentiates the drivers from on another and I think I am missing it
as the driver description is not a 100% foolproof way of determining
the different drivers
