Out of Memory Error

It's clearly a case of memory leak/not collected. You say you are destroying objects but they are not yet collected and as you said you are doing it number of times, so it must be happening.

You need to share across the code of how you are destorying it and why you are creating number of activeX. That will help people in resolving that for you.
Further, it does not looks a good design/slow where you need to create number of ActiveX objects in a short while.
