It is difficult to debug without your bib file. The main problem seems to be
that there is a need for an extra bibtex run on your file.
You should take away the :
\usepackage[francais]{babel}
\usepackage{lmodern}
from your preamble. They are useless (you should choose the language and the
font with the LyX interface) and mess with biblatex.
You also have to download and install the csquotes latex package. I think
there are instructions on the Wiki and then add in your preamble the
following line :
\usepackage[style=french]{csquotes}

You have to introduce manually the oe ligature either by creating a latex
inset and inserting \oe{} for lowercase or \OE{} for the uppercase or you
can directly insert the symbol from the menu Insert - Special Character -
Symbols - Latin Extended A
The oe ligature is not automatic because, in French, the ligature is done
only if oe is the diphthong and pronounced 'eu' (like coeur, oeuvre, boeuf,
soeur) or for some words coming from the Greek : OEdipe, OEnologue,
OEsophage, foetus. Purists will pronounce here Édipe, Énologue but normal
French pronounciation is Eudipe except for foetus which is pronounced fétus
You do not do the ligature if it is two vowels and pronounced o-é like
coercitif or a foreign word like Goethe.

You have to introduce manually the oe ligature either by creating a latex
inset and inserting \oe{} for lowercase or \OE{} for the uppercase or you
can directly insert the symbol from the menu Insert - Special Character -
Symbols - Latin Extended A
The oe ligature is not automatic because, in French, the ligature is done
only if oe is the diphthong and pronounced 'eu' (like coeur, oeuvre, boeuf,
soeur) or for some words coming from the Greek : OEdipe, OEnologue,
OEsophage, foetus. Purists will pronounce here Édipe, Énologue but normal
French pronounciation is Eudipe except for foetus which is pronounced fétus
You do not do the ligature if it is two vowels and pronounced o-é like
coercitif or a foreign word like Goethe.

No, I was asking what happens if you cite a book like
\cite{SachsHombach:2003c}
Are you using crossref or not ?
yes, and the address exists in the referenced entry, but is not printed
in the bibliography, example:
Crossref are rather fragile in BibTeX, try to remove in the @incollection
the publisher and isbn fields.
@incollection{SachsHombach:2003,
crossref = {{S}achs{H}ombach:2003c},

One thing I can't figure out: is it possible to change the order of the fields in the citations and bibliography? For example, for the articles, I have: AUTHOR, Article title, Journal Name, volume, year, number, pages and I would like: AUTHOR, Article title, Journal Name, volume, number, year, pages Easy solution, is to enter in your bib file in the volume field something like 54:2 or 54, 2 if you want a comma and I might want to change the order of other things... Is this something easy to do? Well you can hack the jurabib bst to change the order of fields. Hacking jurabib is not that easy because part of the formatting is done in the bst file and part in the jurabib latex macro. Another solution is to jump on the biblatex boat. Biblatex is much cleaner and easier to hack but : - there is no 'archive' type yet - export to MsWord through tex4ht does not work yet - the documentation is very 'German', comprehensive but not very practical For medievalists, it would also be nice to have a 'manuscript' type and a 'critical edition' type.

1. when referencing an article in an editorial work, the address of the
publisher is not shown;
so i want: Smith, J. (1980): Title. In Mayer (ed): Title1, pp. 135-146.

Publishing-Company.
i worked hard in my bst-file, i feel the problem for the missing address
could be in the code snippet i quote below this mail ... but i am not
sure.
Does it work with a normal book ? Are you using crossref or not ? The
important macro is format.publisher.address
the editor is shown (wrong) as Sachs Hombach, but the publisher
(correct) as Dt. Univ.-Verl.
You should protect the editor name {{S}achs--{H]ombach}

Re: Why oh why did you drop xforms?
But now I want to upgrade LyX without installing a newer operating system. I don't think that's too much to ask. According to this : http://sophie.zarb.org/rpmfind?mversion=communitymversion=cookermversion=currentsearch=lyxst=rpmnamesubmit=Soumettreqcount=20 Lyx 1.5.3 is in the repository main/testing current of Mandriva. I guess you have to unable the correct repository and update urpmi and then urpmi install lyx If you want to be on the safe side, wait the release of the 2008 Mandriva, then wait 2 months for bugs to be ironed off and then upgrade and stick with the ugly old LyX.
