I have an ocx that is registered (or at least shows up in my registry) on my computer.

I can do the following:

loObj = createobject("PCL2PDFDEVLIB.pcl2pdfDevLibCtrl.1")

and that works fine. The "PCL2PDFDEVLIB.pcl2pdfDevLibCtrl.1" was taken straight out of the ProgID value in the registry for the CLSID of {708FC612-F129-11D3-844D-0080C88C9740}.

However, if I try doing the following:

loObj = createobjectex("{708FC612-F129-11D3-844D-0080C88C9740}","192.168.1.1")

(where 192.168.1.1 is my ip address), I get the error:

OLE error code 0x80040154: Class not registered

Any ideas why I can instantiate the object based on it's PROGID but not it's CLSID. I do realize there is a difference in the commands I'm using so it's not entirely apples to apples here; but, doesn't the fact that I can instantiate the object from the PROGID in the registry demonstrate that the ocx is indeed registered?

Thanks for your help!
