I've used .BAT files to fire up the old PKZIP, and used the command line interface for WINZIP (

http://www.winzip.com/xcmdline.htm),

and then there is
also DYNAZIP (

http://www.dynazip.com)

which you can fully automate. It just depends on your requirements and budget.

I use batch files to fire off PkZip25 that way I can talk users through unzipping things if needed.

There's also a product called DynaZIP which has Active-X controls that can be used to zip/unzip. We tested an evaluation copy for a while and it seemed to work pretty well. It's nice, because it doesn't depend on an outside application, and you have control over the user interface. It can compress to/from memory directly, so you can do field-level compression too (nice for memo fields!).
