Please point out what I am doing wrong. I am using lyx-1.1.6fix4. Thanks. Bolin --- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

While we're on this subject, I thought I'd drop a suggestion for future
versions of LyX. It's also related to multipart documents. Currently,
when adding a cross reference to a section that is in another file you
have to use ERT "\vref{sec:whatever}". Along with checking for
bibliographies as mentioned above, it would be nice to check for labels
as well.
I know it's not simple, as that would imply reading (if not opening) all
the lyx files in the document. But I thought adding it to the end of the
wish list would do no harm.

There is another work-around that I think I found on the lyx "tips and tricks" pages. 1. Open the main.lyx file. 2. Open the citation pop-up (i.e. pretend you are going to insert a citation, but don't click "close" or "OK") 3. Open the chapter1.lyx. Now you can insert citations using the bibliography from main.

Duplicate the bibliography in the chapter files and set to Comment-Style (Alt-a Shift-C in my LyX). Then LyX will know the keys and LaTeX will ignore it. GM -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
citation in multiple files document
Hi, I have a question about citation. I am writing a dissertation with several chapters. Every chapter is stored in it's own file and included in a main file. Bibliography is in the main file. So I have main.lyx chapter1.lyx chapter2.lyx ... I can load main.lyx in lyx and do View->Update->Postscript and lyx loads all chapter files. It knows main file needs chapter files. When I try to cite an item in the bibliography from a chapter file, no key shows up in the pop-up window. The program doesn't show me keys defined in main.lyx. Make sense because there's no links in chapter files to main file. I tried to duplicate bibliography in chapter files and get multiple bibliography in the result document. So, is there a way I can cite a bibliography item in chapter files? Thanks Bolin
