To add a new field you can also use NotesItem constructor with AUTHORS as specialType% parameter:

Dim item As New NotesItem(doc, "hdndocauthor", users, AUTHORS)

Using LotusScript:

Dim item As NotesItem
Set item = doc.ReplaceItemValue("hdndocauthor", values)
item.IsAuthors = True

where doc references the underlying [back-end] document, and values is a Variant or String array containing the desired author names, which must be provided in canonical format.
