Hi,

I recently started using Vim-LaTeX, but ran in some problems with
autocompletion of references and citations  in windows xp.

When I enter F9 after typing \cite{ the window my bibtex entries
opens as it should. However, when I press enter, the window just closes
without filling in the reference. When I use F9 with \ref I get an
error window saying "''C:' is not recognized as an internal or external
command," This behaviour occurs for single file tex documents as well
as projects using a latexmain file. Here are some things I have tried
so far,

I have set grepprg=grep\ -nH\ $* in my _vimrc and also tried to use the
internal grep to no avail.

I searched around and found earlier mentions of this problem, also on
this mailing list.

http://www.mail-archive.com/vim-latex-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00486.html
http://www.mail-archive.com/vim-latex-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00118.html

In the first, a patch is mentioned, which was incorporated in changeset
1047. Since I use the latest vim-latex version from sourceforge
(29/01/2010) I assume I have a patched version.

Following the second mail thread I installed GnuWin32 grep in
C:\GnuWin32 and Vim7.2 in C:\vim to prevent problems with spaces.
My python installation resides in C:\python26. Also I made sure the
path to the tex files does not contain any spaces. This did not do the
trick.

Just as a test, I installed vim, vim-latex and miktex 2.8 in a
guest winXP in virtualbox with ubuntu lucid as the host. Again all
installations, including MiKTeX, were done using folders without
spaces. To prevent interference from other vim plugins I did not
install any. In this setup I have exactly the same problem as in the
regular winXP.

So all in all I wasn't very succesful with my solutions. In ubuntu
itself everything worked pretty much out of the box, but in xp it seems
a bit more tricky. Does anyone have any more suggestions on how to
fix this?

Regards,
Patrick
