Dear Jeff,

Thank you very much for your reply. I am quite puzzled about this.
I did a "teacup update-self" & "teacup update" today, before re-wrapping 
my app.
 From my app, I have removed a copy of tablelist, tclodbc & tktable I 
had inside my application (in order to use the standard packages from 
the 8.5 teapot repository). I re-wrapped my application, but today I 
cannot get it to reproduce the problem
I had with excel. But I didn't see "teacup update" updating anything 
related :-(

So, the only problem I now have is with the tablelist_tile package, 
which does not work unless I do:

catch {package require tablelist_tile}
package require Tablelist_tile

For some reason "package require tablelist_tile" fails when the app is 
ran unwrapped,
and "package require Tablelist_tile" fails unless I do a "package 
require tablelist_tile" before when wrapped.
(doing only "package require tablelist_tile" when wrapped gives errors 
when using the package. Doing both works ok.)

The problem is that I cannot reproduce any more the failure with excel 
when wrapped. But I didn't changed anything.
And still, the executables I had built before do still have the problem 
when interacting with excel.
So, I don;t have the problem any more, but also I haven't found the 
cause for the failure I had (which was reproducable in at least 3 
different PCs).

Best regards,

George
