Alana sent me the file offlist (at my request) and it was empty except for the BibDesk comment at the top of the file. That explains the error message, but we need to figure out what happened.

Can you give us more information. What is at line 8? It looks like
there is a record that doesn't have something like @article at the
front. Each record should look something like this:

@article{Johns2002aa,
        Author = {Johns, Louise C. and Sellwood, William and McGovern, John
and Haddock, Jillian},
        Date-Added = {2006-01-26 10:23:29 -0500},
        Date-Modified = {2006-01-26 10:28:49 -0500},
        Deliv_Pending = {No},
        Journal = {Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy},
        Keywords = {negative symptoms; schizophrenia, apathy; cognitive
behavioral therapy; group therapy; boredom},
        Pages = {341 - 346},
        Title = {Battling Boredom: Group Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for
Negative Symptoms of Schizophrenia},
        Volume = {30},
        Year = {2002}}

How this happened, I can't imagine, if you used BD to create the bib.

But in any case, we need more info. When the little errors window pops
up, you should be able to click on it and see the raw .bib file. That
should help.

I used BibDesk to create a bibliography.  I saved the file a few
days ago. Now when I open it, it gives an error that says - Syntax
Error - Line 8 - at end of input, expected "@"

Even when I click the "Open Using Temporary Cite Keys" option, the
error pops up again and none of my entries open. . .help?

Thank you!
