You need to refresh the file name database in your LaTeX
installation. The precise mechanics seem to depend on your
distribution, but it usually reduces to running a command like
texhash (unless you've got an icon that points to the right
command, which is distinctly possible). Sorry I can't be more
specific, but I'm not a Mac user.

Thanks for the reply.
I had placed the bst file in my localtexmf folder and ran texhash
with this result:
[bobl-mac:~] bobl% texhash
texhash: Updating /sw/etc/texmf-config/ls-R...
texhash: /sw/share/texmf/ls-R: no write permission. Skipping...
texhash: /sw/share/texmf-dist/ls-R: no write permission. Skipping...
texhash: /sw/share/texmf-local/ls-R: no write permission. Skipping...
texhash: Updating /sw/var/lib/texmf/ls-R...
texhash: Done.
[bobl-mac:~] bobl%
It seems that I have no write permission to three folders. Seeing
this I went to every folder and ensured read & write access, but I
still get the same result so I assume this is why LyX is not finding
the bst file.
Any ideas.
Bob
