Do you leave the DynaZip OCXs on such a form, open for the whole application? I wouldn't do that with the DynaZip .OCXes. For some reason, they take up a lot of memory even when they are just sitting there. I instantiate each one just before I need it, and destroy it immediately when it's done.

I put each of mine in a container, which I instantiate where it's needed. The container has the .OCX in it, and has methods for setting up the zipping or unzipping.
