Hi Stefan,

Yes, I did. Biblatex works for me when I change it to bibtex8 but not with biber (changing it in three places: document setting, the preamble and tools->preferences->output->latex).

Hi,

I need to use a the chicago style footnote citation style for an article and I've been working on it for a long time with a different style, so I want to be able to switch citation styles without doing it manually.

So I switched over from bibtex to biblatex in an effort to use the biblatex ...

How do I add that option? I only run bibtex on the files through miktex, and I have no option to run biber there. I'm not sure what you mean by that, I guess I just don't know latex well enough.

here's my file - it's totally reduced yet it doesn't work.

I understand - but nowhere do I have this. In fact, even my template file - which has nothing other than installations of packages etc., gives the same error message.
