Thought I would post a follow up for my issue.

It ends up the issue was my machine was trying to access
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\APPID

It wanted full access to the key (it did not write anything to the
Regestry)

So for those who end up with the error message of "Active X can't
create object"

You need full access to this key in order for the macro to work.
(Admins will have no issue)

Hope these helps some folks
