Yes, that was it. Thanks for the second time today, Richard.

My guess would be that the bibliography style expects years to be four
characters long, so you're losing the first character. But the solution
is simple: In the .bib file, you can just have both papers be "2005".
BibTeX will sort out the "a" and "b" for you automagically.

Sorry about the title of this email: this is far less sensational than
the Wendy's finger in the chili episode.

A certain author had two papers appear in 2005; so I dated them 2005a
and 2005b. That seemed to work just fine. But after revising my LyX
file -- including a change of .bib file, but the new .bib file has the
same 2005a, 2005b references -- the citations now appear as 005a and
005b. Where, oh where, has my digit 2 gone?

I used the apalike bib style before and after revision. Other bib
styles seem to be OK.

In the references, I see, for example,

[Smith, 005a] Smith, B. (2005a) blah blah

In the text, I get

[Smith, 005a, p. 10]

Any thoughts?

Bruce
