 Second, You need to select the natbib style, as well, namely: 
 Author-year. This is in the DocumentSettings bibliography pane, I 
 think. At least that's where it is in 1.5.5.


But actually, the only thing that I want to change it

there you can change if you want a numeric or a

First, you should try 1.5.5. It's a lot better. It should read your

 Hello everybody.
 This is my first e.mail to the LyX users ML.
 Only about one month ago I installed on my not new PC GNU/Linux, Mandrake

 I need LateX. So, LyX  was advised to me as the fastest and simply way to
 write LateX documents. In the meantime I have been reading the tutorial,
 something from the user guideand something from the not so short
 introduction to LateX.
 However,  I am stopped on some problem:
 
 1) I need the references section in the form summarized by the following
 examples:
 
 Bass, L. (1966). Economics of Nondestructive Testing. Annul Technical
 Conference Trasactions, ASQC, pp. 611-615.
 Hans, B.L. (1963). Quality control: Theory and Applications. Prentice-Hall,
 Englewood Cliffs, NJ.
 and so on...
 So no label is present beside each item.
 I have to be able to refer to those item in the article , as Bass (1966) and
 as Hans (1963) respectively.
 How can I do this by LyX?

If I understand correctly, what you need to do is to add
  \usepackage{natbib}

 http://www.lyx.org/help/titlepage/titlepage.php#date

The first option there (to write \date{}) is the correct one.
Note the help page doesn't tell you where to put it.
You either need to put it in the preamble, or put it inside the document in
LaTeX mode, before the title.

The second option (to put ctrl+space in the date style) is wrong because it
will put too much space between the title and the body of the document.

 Press Ctrl-Space which will produce an blue empty space, and
 set its style as Date from the tool bar.

Well, this is probably the best advice for beginners, but it
introduce huge gap between title and body of text. The better
advice is to look in the article.cls (or scrartcl.cls, or
something else -- the class of document you use), find definition
of \maketitle, and then redefine it without date. It is not so
bad as you would expect it to be. For example for scrartcl
('article [Koma-Script]' in Layout/Document dialog box), the new
command to be add to Layout/LaTeX preamble is just:

\def\@maketitle{%
\clearpage
\let\footnote\thanks
\begin{center}%
{\sectfont\huge \@title \par}%
  \end{center}%
  \par
  \vskip 2em}

(you may reconsider what kind of size you want for the title --
default \huge is probably inappropriate for just simple document;
either delete \huge at all, or use something smaller like \large)

Happy LyXing!

The first option there (to write \date{}) is the correct one.
Note the help page doesn't tell you where to put it.
You either need to put it in the preamble, or put it inside the document in
LaTeX mode, before the title.

The second option (to put ctrl+space in the date style) is wrong because it
will put too much space between the title and the body of the document.

Well, this is probably the best advice for beginners, but it
introduce huge gap between title and body of text. The better
advice is to look in the article.cls (or scrartcl.cls, or
something else -- the class of document you use), find definition
of \maketitle, and then redefine it without date. It is not so
bad as you would expect it to be. For example for scrartcl
('article [Koma-Script]' in Layout/Document dialog box), the new
command to be add to Layout/LaTeX preamble is just:

\def\@maketitle{%
\clearpage
\let\footnote\thanks
\begin{center}%
{\sectfont\huge \@title \par}%
  \end{center}%
  \par
  \vskip 2em}

(you may reconsider what kind of size you want for the title --
default \huge is probably inappropriate for just simple document;
either delete \huge at all, or use something smaller like \large)

Happy LyXing!

(A)
I have used the information on www.lyx.org/help/...  it works. In detail, in
the
preamble:
\renewcommand{\@cite}[2]{{#1\if@tempswa , #2\fi}}
\renewcommand{\@biblabel}[1]{}


(B)
On that page it is also suggested to in the preamble:
\usepackage{cite}
\citeleft{}
\citeright{}
However, I have not yet try it.

So I am going to try both what you advise and the aforementioned (B), even
if what I have got, (A), it seems to me working fine.
Thanks and best regards

Hello everybody.
This is my first e.mail to the LyX users ML.
Only about one month ago I installed on my not new PC GNU/Linux, Mandrake
8.1 Distribution.
I need LateX. So, LyX  was advised to me as the fastest and simply way to
write LateX documents. In the meantime I have been reading the tutorial,
something from the user guideand something from the not so short
introduction to LateX.
However,  I am stopped on some problem:

1) I need the references section in the form summarized by the following
examples:

Bass, L. (1966). Economics of Nondestructive Testing. Annul Technical
Conference Trasactions, ASQC, pp. 611-615.
Hans, B.L. (1963). Quality control: Theory and Applications. Prentice-Hall,
Englewood Cliffs, NJ.
and so on...
So no label is present beside each item.
I have to be able to refer to those item in the article , as Bass (1966) and
as Hans (1963) respectively.
How can I do this by LyX?

2)And if I need to put some instruction in the Latex preamble, in order to
reach my purpose, How can I insert the { and } for the latex command in the
window opened by accessing the menu layout-Latex preamble? Is it possible
that I need such parenthesis {} also in the main document for inserting some
Latex parameter instruction ? And in the case, How can I do? Do I have to
use mathed?
For example how can I insert there  /usepackage[bla,bla]{bla,bla} ?

3) I then have to introduce a biographical footnote. But I suppose, for
seeing it in another paper, that it must be without any number? How can I
obtain in LyX o footnote without any label ?

4) When I insert the title and the author name it is automatically added
also the date. I don't want it. How can I delete it?
I have also some other problem but perhaps I will solve them by try and
re-try. On the contrary, the aforementioned ones I was not able to solve and
I am halted.

Going to LaTeX, you may use the bibtopics package to build up

To provide one bibliography per section or chapter, 
the packages are bibunits end custombib.
