Hi all, thank you very much for your quick and useful responses.
1. To cut the file in two did not make a difference. 2. I found a 'dodgy' reference in my list at "Wa..." (alphabetical order). After that was removed, everything worked fine:). @ Richard: Great hints. It must have been an illegal character, which I could not immediately identify when looking at that reference and it was not the first one that didn't appear. I will next time rather launch LyX from a terminal and I will try ASCII encoding, but have to see how I go with my special characters. Thank you for the kind offer of help. @ Uwe: I thank you very much for your relevant comment; and you are right. My list has resulted from the merger of a five year, multi-disciplinary project. So, yes, I won't need all of them and should have 'cleaned out earlier' for the sake of overview at least. And I do my best not to torture the reviewer with inadequate referencing, though I might have been quite thorough. @ Rainer: I would love to know that, too, how to identify non-ASCII characters in a bibtex file. Delighted that things have progressed thanks to you all and I learned s.th. again.
