Hi Daniel, The easiest way I could come up with fast is this: Use t1[1] instead of t1: t1[1]:= Print["Hello"] Use a storage variable: store = DownValues[t1]; Put then t2 := store[[1, 2]] Then you could change t1, and t2 will anyway print "Hello" each time you evaluate it. There are probably better ways.

If t1 is changing in between t2 is changed too. What is looked for, is a way to get the value of t1 into the definition of t2 without evaluating it.
