 Hi,

 I am using Lyx (1.5.1 on WinXP) to write my thesis.  When I try exporting the 
 multi-part document as pdf (using dvipdfm) I get errors but the output pdf 
 has no figures in it.  All the captions and everything are in the right

 me figure out what is going on?  Thank you.

Your question does not have all of the information we need.

1. What format are the images in?  Possibly there is no translator
installed on your system for that conversion approach you are using.

2. Do your individual parts compile  view fine? If they do, then
we've got a real puzzle.

3. Can you give us a small working example to demonstrate the problem?

4. Did you know that pdflatex is the recommended method of
processing documents into pdf output?  I think the way you are using
is considered the least dependable.  It would be preferable to use
ps2pdf, I think.

5. There is a script tex2pdf, that can handle lyx or tex files.  When
I encounter a difficult problem, I use that.

6. It seems like your version of LyX is pretty old. If you think there
is a bug in LyX itself, you won't get anybody's attention until you
install the latest release and test this.
