that csv files can be accessed directly by entering the path to the file in
the SrcDataSource, but this does not seem to be working for me.

Here is the connection string that I am trying to use:
CONNECTION "<OGRVRTDataSource>
<OGRVRTLayer
name='city'><SrcDataSource>C:\ms4w\apps\sp-wms\admin_tools\data\ReportData\</SrcDataSource><SrcLayer>
city.csv</SrcLayer><GeometryField encoding='PointFromColumns' x='X'
y='Y'/><GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType><LayerSRS>WGS84</LayerSRS></OGRVRTLayer></OGRVRTDataSource>"


Here is the working ODBC version:
CONNECTION "<OGRVRTDataSource>
<OGRVRTLayer  name='IRSS_TEXT'><SrcDataSource>ODBC:IRSS_TEXT,city.csv
</SrcDataSource><SrcLayer>city.csv</SrcLayer><GeometryField
encoding='PointFromColumns' x='X'
y='Y'/><GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType></OGRVRTLayer></OGRVRTDataSource>"

Any advice is much appreciated.
