Thanks Stephano - I've got LyX and Bibdesk talking to each other okay (in the manner you described), but I can't get it to produce the referencing style I'm after: I should have made myself clearer.
Basically my problem is that I can't find the style I'm after in the Insert>Lists & Toc> BibTex Reference dialogue box (after I have selected my .bib file). I want to add the Harvard referencing style to this box, but I have no idea how to do this, or whether I can even do this in LyX. If anyone is nifty with this sort of thing, I'd greatly appreciate any advice.
