set a= ActiveDocument.Variables("Variable1")
a.SetContent "123",true

Hi,

have you already added Variable1 (eg in Variable overview)?

Hi,

No I have not. Why= first I have to create a variable called "a" and after I have to add and test the API script?

Thanks

Yo have to create "Variable1" first, not "a". "a" is only the object reference in VBscript to this "Variable1". If "Variable1" does not exist, then the object "a" cannot be instantiated, thus the macro fails.
