Do you have any unusual characters in these Xrefs? Perhaps there is some issue about the encoding. It's hard to know in the abstract. Richard I have no problems pdf-ing the documents and gets no error messages, just some ?? for some of the Xrefs. I have looked at the Latex-log now and that doesn't tell me anything (there is a reason why I use Lyx and not TeXnicCetnter e.g.), beacuse I really don't get Latex. I have found some warnings but I don't understand them. I don't use any special/unusualcharacters in the Xrefs, just normal names. Try posting the log here then. That's where the answer is. The other suggestion is to "bisect". Start removing things from your document until it works right. Then you'll know where the problem is. Richard

Are the ?? files in there and correctly transferred to lyx (in jabref, you click on LyX to do that after having made sure lyx and jabref communicate) You can check this by putting your mouse pointer on the lyx ref, the content of it should show up. Usually this kind of error occurs when the ref contains some inadequate coding (occurs often by cut and past from references in internet). There are ways of checking the code with certain editors; I usually take half of the document away, do the pdf, if ok, check the other half-half etc which finally ends up at the problematic refs. I learned to do the pdf export frequently while inserting refs; in this way I often find offending characters (eg long - versus -- in bibtex) before I forget what went in the text recently) I am sure there are better advices but thats my -clumpsy- way Wolfgang
Cross-references problem
I have LyX v.2.0.1 and Windows XP. I have a hughe document with a lot of references and cross-references (master document with included child docs). I'm experience problems with, especially, the cross-references when I'm pdf-ing the document - some of them just turn up as "??" in the document. I have checked them several times, deleted and then put them back in. I have also tried to change them all togheter without success. Anyone knows what causes this problem and how to fix it? Solvi
