XML transformed as USC-2 rather than UTF-8

[Nick]

I am trying to use TransformXML in Access 2003. When I use the example code

Application.TransformXML _
DataSource:="C:\Employees_In.xml", _
TransformSource:="C:\Employees_In.xsl", _
OutputTarget:="C:\XformedEmployees.xml", _
WellFormedXMLOutput:=False

with the example XML from
Access 2003 Sample: New XML Features in Access 2003
odc_accessnewxmlfeaturessample.EXE

I changed the output method to XML

<xslutput method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" />

and I get a well formed XML file XformedEmployees.xml but in USC-2 Little
Endian encoding. I need to get an output file in UTF-8 encoding. How do I do
that?

ExportXML has a variable to set the encoding, but TransformXML doesn't.

Thanks
Nick
