It does work for me. But, invoking f twice for the same symbol will produce an error. You need to take Leonid's approach of using ToExpression rather than Symbol if you want to avoid that.

I am guessing your old definition for f is in conflict with the one I propose. Notice the idea is the same as the one by Leonid, give the name as a string "myvar" instead of myvar | |
