Sorry to take so long to get back to you.
@ Jacob, Many thanks for both your and Ray's help. I read through both and tried yours first and you were right. I had thought that I had I had changed that setting but I had not. For some reason I seem to hit cancel rather than save in LyX settings sometimes. It took two tries just now. @ Ray I am definitely going to save your post for my next emergency but what exactly does the code do? . Some kind of complete reset to default settings for a program? I'm a newcomer to Linux and a lot of commands are not yet intuitive. ________________________________ From: Jacob Bishop <[email protected]> To: Ray Rashif <[email protected]> Cc: John Kane <[email protected]>; Lyx List <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 22, 2013 12:51:46 PM Subject: Re: Citations are not working.

This is the major drawback in my opinion of the current way of using biblatex. As I recall, you have to set your biblatex options under tools->preferences->output->LaTeX->Bibliography generation. What I would personally prefer is the ability to set this option on a per-document basis. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the case. I'm guessing that setting the processor back to bibtex should solve the problem. Ray's suggestion will probably work, but it would be good to check those preferences to see if that is in fact the source of the problem. I hope this helps, Jacob
