RE: Solved: Bibtex Problem
Thank you for your quick answers! Tracing the problem I really found a syntax
error in my database. Somehow confused by diacritic latex commands I used
\.v{S} instead of \v{S} in one of the new entries, what somehow stopped lyx
reading this and the following references. I removed it and now happily use
all the references re-copied from my second database with only one.
works perfectly.

Hi,
I've got a problem inserting bibtex entries into my masterthesis.
I added a new entry into my bibtex database (using kbibtex). Within the
program it shows up, but in the citation insert dialogue inside lyx it
won't . It's a standard entry, and i already have a literature list added in
the end of my document (that lists the other inserted citations
beautifully) - is there maybe a database limit that lyx can handle?
(my database has about a hundred entries, that shouldn't be too much)
thanks in advance,
daniel

This one I linked with the literature list in the end of the document - and they are listed! I've used LyX with bibtex databases of several thousand entries, so the problem must be something else (maybe a syntax error somewhere in the bibtex database). That's what I'd guess, too. A syntax error somewhere will throw off the parser. rh
Re: Solved: Bibtex Problem
I agree with Jurgen: my bibtex database contains now 600 references and I don't have any problem in using it with LyX. On the contrary: being a LyX users for just a few months, I am always amazed by realizing how it is easy and aeffective to insert references in papers using LyX. Obviously it would be a great problem if LyX coun't use a big database for managing references so as that LyX users would be compelled to split their database in several smaller dtabases. So I would say that there is no such a limit to entries that lyx can read from the database as Daniel says.
