Albert,
Yes.

Ex.

osession = createobject('Lotus.NotesSession')
osession.Initialize('MyPassword')

odb = osession.GetDatabase('','MyDatabase.NSF')
odoccol = odb.Search([Form="Binder"&FirstName="John"&LastName="Doe"])
for eacj odoc in odoccol
   * do some processing
endfor

store .NULL. to odoccol, odb, osession

HTH.
