Yes. Your original post sounded like they had a COM object available on some computer that they wanted you to call with DCOM from your application. So they should be able to provide you with the registered name of the public COM class, such as "POS.Customers" or "EnterpriseSystem.Application" or something like that, along with the name of the Method to call and the parameter(s) to pass.
