That it should be blank is quite logical. For every record, VFP evaluates whether the contents of variable rfield is equal to "myname". In other word, VFP checks, for instance, whether "field1" = "myname". And this condition is not fulfilled for any record.
You should change this to:
browse for &rfield = "myname"
This will substitute rfield with the field name, before executing the browse command.
