If I understand you correctly, you want to see only the page number you are citing from in the citation you see in a footnote. You bibtex database (created with BibDesk), on the other hand, contains the full reference, including page numbers for the complete article.There are two steps to this. First one is easy: you should make sure you enter the page number you are citing from in the "Text after" field of Lyx's citation dialog (the dialog box that pops up when you go to Insert>>Citation). Second step is more tricky, and it depends very much on: 1. the bibliography package you are using in your lyx document: standard Bibtex, Jurabib, Biblatex, etc. 2. The bibliography style you are using (which depends on the former) 3. Whether you want the complete reference (including initialpage-lastPage) in the references section at the end of the article in addition to the footnotes. You need to indicate which setup you are currently using to receive more help (at least from me).
