Client Access and Passwords

We have an application that launches a VB app thru RUNRMTCMD. We have the
setting to run as logged on user.

Generally this is not a problem. Except on the days that people change their
passwords. Our protocol is to signon to both the network and the AS/400 with
your existing password, then using a menu option on the 400, change that
password and ust Ctrl-Alt-Del to get to the windows button to change that
password.  The problem appears to be that the initial connection bewtween
the 400 and the pc is made with the old password. When they try to launch
the VB app, it uses the new password and dies (or vice versa).  

Currently, we have advised everyone on the day they change passwords to
reboot before working. Is there something we are missing ? We can't have the
users signon each time they launch the VB app as they are in and out of it
hundreds of times in a day. 

Suggestions ?

Thanks,
