Do you have a bibliography inserted? If it is not, you need to insert one via insert > list / TOC > BibTeX bibliography. If you do have one inserted, click on it and see if your databases are listed. If they are not listed, you need to make sure LyX can find your .bib files. Make sure your BibTeX folder is in the path. (if you moved the folder, click on "rescan"). Then go to "Add" and find your .bib files. Scott
