(menu: Add / List/Content/References). When choosing Add Local, a file-browser menu opens, and when entering a relative path (e.g. ..\folderA\newbib.bib), LyX accepts this but changes it to an absolute path (e.g. C:\Papers\folderA\newbib.bib). The OP also noted that this full-path entry cannot be edited and so cannot be changed back to a relative path.
