Using JabRef I managed to import a big database in txt format exported as "Refer Export" from Endnote7. I had to use the JabRef 'Bibtex-key generator' to get the database recognised as bibtex (and also by Pybliographer).

Import in Lyx1.3.4 worked (after I got the Lyx-server going somehow), but Lyx did not recognise the keys (that came up as 'name1998') it seemed that Lys treats such key as a disrupted mathematical expression and tried to repair it, which of course did not help. After inserting '-' inbetween name and date to 'name-1998' everything worked fine. Maybe this is a lyx-bug but it might be helpful to people to know.

PS I used vim to get '-' inserted in all my keys by using search/replace with regular expressions.
