I upgraded to Lyx 1.5.1 . The References come up just fine, with numbers and everything, but in the text when I make a citation I get a question mark instead of the number corresponding to that reference.

Does anyone know how to fix this?


Assuming that you are using BibTeX (you did not say so), in my experience, that usually means either that LyX didn't run LaTeX enough times or that there is a broken or indigestible entry in the .bib file. I don't know whether you would still get the references (all of them?) with a borked .bib file, but I suppose I've seen stranger things happen.

Two things you could try (again assuming you are using BibTeX). One would be to start a new paper, using the same .bib file, and just stick in one or two citations, then see if they work. If so, try citing all the papers, and if that breaks do a trial-and-error removal of cites until you find which one is problematic. The other approach would be to export the paper to LaTeX, then run latex-bibtex-latex-latex on it and see if (a) it turns out ok or (b) you get an error message.

Any chance you have non-UTF-8 characters in the .bib file?
