This is what I did to make it work. I am on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine (at the moment...I also use Ubuntu). 1. I downloaded biber from http://sourceforge.net/projects/biblatex-biber/files/latest/downloadthen extracted the biber.exe file and copied it to C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin. Then, I added C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin to the system path by right-clicking computer->properties, then environment variables. Find the variable PATH, put a semi-colon after everything already there, and append C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin. 2. I downloaded the biblatex.module file, from http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/BibTeX/biblatex.module and installed it by copying it into my local lyx directory, C:\Users\Jacob\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.0\layouts. 3. I downloaded your files from the latest email (biblatex1.lyx and biblatex_style_guide.bib). These were downloaded to the same directory, C:\Users\Jacob\Downloads. 4. I opened LyX, and under tools->preferences->output->LaTeX, in the Bibliography generation selected "Custom" from the dropdown menu. The options box changed to a command box, and I typed biber into the box. I clicked save and closed LyX. 5. I opened your LyX file, biblatex1.lyx. I expanded the note, and clicked on BibTeX Generated Bibliography. When the dialogue came up, I deleted the entry, lyx\biblatex_style_guide. I clicked add, then browse. I found the downloaded file, biblatex_style_guide, and clicked on it, then on add and then ok. 6. I went to document->settings->LaTeX Preamble, and changed the second line from \addbibresource{biblatex1.bib} to \addbibresource{C:/Users/Jacob/Downloads/biblatex_style_guide.bib}. Then, I clicked ok. 7. Then, I clicked on the little googly eyes button, and voila! The pdf came out properly. Obviously, there will be differences if you're on Linux, but you ought to be able to figure out the differences. In particular, step 1 will not be nearly so painful. Jacob
