If I'm not mistaken, a sty would go in the latex, not the bibtex tree. But I doubt that makes a diff to your problem. The way I understand it, a sty would handle formatting the citations--author/date parenthetical, etc.--in the document itself. The sty is included in the preamble (\usepackage{m

This happens when the key you used in the reference doesn't match anything in the database bibtex searches. You could have misspelled a key, misspelled the name of the .bib database, or when you made the database you didn't run "texconfig rehash"... In any case, the problem is that bibtex can't
