When I try to compile the .bib file(s) in TeXnicCenter, BiBTeX doesn't work at all. Instead, doing it with WinEdt is perfectly OK. The only annoying thing is that I use the former editor and I'd like to do all passages of the compiling in the same editor (TeXnicCenter).
I also looked for settings about BiBTeX, but I found anything.
What's the solution to evitate to have the .bbl file created by WinEdt instead of TeXnicCenter?

Re: Problems compiling with BiBTeX
Have a look at whichever build profile you are using (ALT + F7). You have two options:
1. Check the box that says use BiBTeX with this profile.
2. Instead of using latex.exe as the compiler, change it to texify.exe (which is also in the bin folder of MiKTeX).

Re: Problems compiling with BiBTeX
It doesn't work. I wasn't using latex.exe but bibtex.exe; I tried your suggestion (texify.exe) and also bibtex8.exe and latex.exe, but no-one works.
Moreover, the checking-box when not selected allows the use of BibTeX, but no problem because it wasn't selected.
I am still at the beginning of the problem. Thank you for your help, however.

Re: Problems compiling with BiBTeX
... but I had now a light in my brain to see the end of the shadows.
First of all I changed the path of the project, to not have space in the file path.
I changed the parameters that TeXnicCenter was passing to BibTeX, that were wrong because it asked "no file extension". So I pass now %bm. The compiler I chose is bibtex.exe.
Now I can compile all in TeXnicCenter. Thank you so much because I suggested the way to find the error, also if you weren't able to know why before now!
