Thanks, Uwe, but I am using already Jabref and did not get any warning. The best would be to have a program which checks a bib file for Bibtex-correct entrances. I thought I have heard about it once, but don't remember which. What would be the best keyword(s) to check for it in the internet? Otherwise, what is better, to split the references in the bib file and try parts of it, until I found the errors or, alternatively, split the document and try? Its a book with over 600 pages and more than 1700 references, so the last method is combersome. By the way, I have extracted the references used in the book from my bib files by using a nice feature of Jabref (on a command line) jabref --aux book.aux, new.bib old.bib after having exported my book.tex as plain latex and run it on the command line three times latex book which produces among others a book.aux file new.bib contains now only the used references.
