My experiences: I had to use APA style for citations and it uses the 
author as label, so I had one source without an author and it would me 
give me an empty citations, the solution was to use the attribute key
in the bibtex file (key = {something},) to get a custom label, maybe 
this also works for you...

have a nice day

peter

btw: just yesterday I handed in my thesis that I wrote with LyX, and I 
am really grateful for this software package it saved me some hassle 
(and also gave me some, but that's a different story ;-))
