Q1160040: How can I make sure that the IPtoCountry object makes use of a recent IP-to-Country database?

However, to make sure you make use of the latest IP-to-Country database, you can download Network Component's core component (AxNetwork32.dll) at any time to make sure that the IP-to-Country data is up-to-date. You can download AxNetwork32.dll directly from here: activexperts.com/files/network-component/AxNetwork32.dll.
