Set REF field value (result) within VBA

I have some field in a document, like:

{ MyName }
How to set MyName value with vba?
When I was using { DOCVARIABLE MyName } I did that so simple with activedocument.variables("MyName")="Hello".

Thanks

If that field is working then you must have a bookmark in the document of the same name

Code:

Sub ResetBookmark()
  Dim sBkmk As String, aRng As Range
  sBkmk = "MyName"
  If ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Exists(sBkmk) Then
    Set aRng = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(sBkmk).Range
    aRng.Text = "Hello from the other side"
    ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Name:=sBkmk, Range:=aRng
  End If
End Sub

Thank you! I'm going to stick with DOCVARIABLE as it's a bit simpler to manage within VBA.
