FW: Problems using Bibtex with lyx.

[Mike Reeks]

Dear EberhardCould u  be a little more respectful in your criticism and observations. I had been using  lyx 2.2  version successfully in my review article. So the bibtex and referencing worked perfectly as wells as the nomenclature listing. Furthermore my version of lyx is tolerant of spaces in flienames etc. It is only the recent  version that doesn’t accept spaces.   I am aware of errors in formatting references  in the bibtex file which stops the conversion. Now for some unknown reason the conversion to pdf file works but doesn’t contain the reference list. What has happened to my Miktex without my doing anything whatsoever? It turns out that Miktex gets up dated without the user knowing and that’s what might happened. Many thanks for your comments and observations. It is much appreciated. I will cary  on with review article using my prest version of lyx .  There is not much to be done. Then I will reinstall Miktex and download the most recent version of Lyx. I will keep you informed of progress.

You have a number of ligatures such as fl or ff being one character
instead of two and therefor I don't believe that this came about by
itself.  When I fix (all of) these it compiles without error.

This is CLEARLY shown in the error messages produced by LyX(LaTeX). 

There are typing errors in the reference. Ruuning a spelling checker 
would have probably picked the cause of the issue up, by the way.

There are leading spaces within {}.

Generally it looks untidy, if only for hyphenated titles, not something
I would send out when asking for help.

BTW, not everybody is impressed by spaces in file names.

And what is really irritating, not only is this not a MWE, but if you
had bothered to construct one, by removing everything but the offending
item (ie reference in the BIB file) you would have seen this yourself.
