Sorry to keep replying to this topic myself, but it keeps getting more and more complicated. I find that if I delete and remake the Bibtex references list, it works with a default "natplain" style. However, if I try to mess around with the styles, and change back to where I assume the natbib style is located, it starts doing the question marks thing again. Also, I had to put an extra setting in order to get circular brackets, which should have been a default setting. It's all very odd. Does someone have an in depth tutorial on exactly how one can use bibtex and natbib for Author/year type citations? It seems that every time I try this out I run into problems.

Nevermind - I deleted the ref thing at the end (which I had added before I switched over to natbib) and then readded it.
