[Wolfgang Engelmann]

Thanks, Benedict.
How difficult is it to switch to biblatex and what can go wrong?

You should use biblatex. It has the ability to do this. For my example,

\usepackage[

uniquename=false,

uniquelist=false,

maxcitenames=2,

mincitenames=1,

maxbibnames=200,

minbibnames=1,

natbib=true,

url=false,

doi=false,

isbn=false,

eprint=false,

backref=false,

backend=biber,

style=authoryear-comp,

]{biblatex}


maxcitenames, mincitenames will have to be configured to get what you want
but those two options will allow what you need.

  I use spbasic (Springer Publ) as the bibstyle

(Koma script book)
and get the citations in the text right (Author1, X et al)
However, in the references all Coauthors are cited. How can I resrict it
to 3?
I tried to find an answer in the net, adding
\usepackage{natbib} to the preamble did not help.
Anybody who could help with a pointer?

Wolfgang

p.S.
In the references it should read like
Author1,X, Author2,X Author3,X et al
where X is the prenome abbreviation
