Hello,
Ages ago I asked this list about how to do APA references for my
thesis, and since with rgheck's help I ended up with a method that
seems to be working properly I figured it might be useful for someone
else:
install Biblatex:

install biblatex-apa:
http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/biblatex-apa.html
look in the documentation for instructions, section 2 of
http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-apa/biblatex-apa.pdf
step 1 of http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex
texhash
reconfigure Lyx
In the document you want to use APA for:
steps 4 & 5 of http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex
add the following to your preamble:
\usepackage[style=apa]{biblatex}
\bibliography{/path/to/your/bibliography} %without the .bib ending;
% multiple \bibliograpy entries are possible for several bib files
% the following command transform the natbib citation commands into
apa/biblatex
% citation commands:
\def\citet{\textcite}
\def\citep{\parencite}
\def\citealp{\nptextcite}
now you can use the normal Lyx natbib interface to add citations.
