The only way i can think to do this is creatinng an agent in DB which would change the password (throught @formula code) and you could run the agent with Automation.
As long as i know, there is no way to change it througth COM, since it is not exposed such feature.

Richie,

When i was typing this question i somehow knew that only you would respond to this question. ( based on answered EE Q in Lotus & VB interaction )
I heard rumors about c api's that can do the job. Does that mean anything to you ?
I need to do this through VB because we are using a program that already syncronizes passwords for novell, nt etc. I just wan't to change the notes ID as well.
I thing i know is that if the C Api's can't do it, then there is no hope left. So i wonder if you know something about it.....


I know nothing about API for Notes, only that  it exists.
i will do a search.
In the meantime, drop a link to this Q in Lotus Notes TA.
;)

Well, take a look at this:

It appears that use three parameters
1: Path to id file,
2: (long?) value, could be 0...
3: New password (string)

Richie,

The entire function/api is posted in Lotus Notes TA https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/20881381/Change-Lotus-Notes-ID-password-programmatically-500-500-points.html 
Please take a look at that one and help thinking about using it in VB.

Tnx,so far...
Please, don't award points to me since it was just a little help.
Thanks anyway.
Cheers
Too late!!
i didn't receive notification of this yet!
By the way, regarding API for Notes stuff: it is hard to found some useful at internet. I just downloaded Notes API toolkit (i will take a look at it)
It appears that all people talk about API and pass function names each others but nobody explain a bit of it, or where we could found a list of all function (Even if it not possible to get their usage, is a start)
