When I click on one of the browse-buttons in the dialog "BibTex", it opens the browser dialog for the directory from which Lyx was started... so try starting lyx from another directory, i.e. from the directory where you have your .bib-files. Here's another way though to make it easier to find the .bib-files: First set your environment variables properly, i.e. see >man bibtex and set the variables: $BIBINPUTS and $BSTINPUTS This way, you never have to browse directly to the .bib-files, but instead you can just type their name since the $BIBINPUTS is properly. /Christian -- Christian Ridderström http://www.md.kth.se/~chr
