Hi Jens Yes I did change the name. Sorry I should have mentioned it in my original post. So here is a chain of actions I do 1. Open a file DataAnalysis.nb 2. Since I do not want to execute the initialization cells I just execute those three cells I mentioned in the original post. As soon as I try to execute the first cell (SetDirectory["/home/marek/Mathematica/Packages"]) a little window pops out asking me if I want to execute initialization cells? I say NO to that and execute the remaining commands i.e a. AppendTo[$Path, "/home/marek/Mathematica/Packages"] b Needs["DataAnalysis`"] 3. then I scroll down past the initialization cells and try to execute some commands which are using functiones defined in my package and they do not work. The most intriguing think about all that is that the autocomplition command works for all the functions defined in my package so it looks like the package was detected and parsed ok.
