John,
From the help for CreateObjectEx :

"cCLSID | cPROGID
Specifies the CLSID (Class Identifier) or PROGID (Programmatic Identifier) for the COM object to instantiate. If you include a CLSID, the COM object must be registered on the remote server you specify with cComputerName. If you include a PROGID, the COM object must be registered on both the your local computer and the remote computer you specify with cComputerName. Attempting to use a PROGID without first registering the server on your local computer will generate the OLE error Code 0x800401f3, "Invalid Class String." "
