(I do not expect g to dynamically update. How can it?) > Hi; If you change :> to -> then you get the output you want: ---- cell one --------------- In[9]:= ClearAll[g]; ------------------------- ------- cell 2 --------------------- In[10]:= DynamicModule[{},g,Initialization->{g="hello world"}] ------------------------------------ Out[10]= hello world Not sure though if this is a solution that you could use for your main work, but just wanted to point this out. --Nasser
