Are you using a bibfile program such as jabref for your ref? Are the ?? files in there and correctly transferred to lyx (in jabref, you click on LyX to do that after having made sure lyx and jabref communicate) You can check this by putting your mouse pointer on the lyx ref, the content of it should show up. Usually this kind of error occurs when the ref contains some inadequate coding (occurs often by cut and past from references in internet). There are ways of checking the code with certain editors; I usually take half of the document away, do the pdf, if ok, check the other half-half etc which finally ends up at the problematic refs. I learned to do the pdf export frequently while inserting refs; in this way I often find offending characters (eg long - versus -- in bibtex) before I forget what went in the text recently) I am sure there are better advices but thats my -clumpsy- way Wolfgang
