Feature Suggestions ⇒ Support for MiKTeX Environment Variables

[Cillian]

Hi,

I'm a long time latex user but new to windows and TeXnicCenter. Currently I store all my .bib files in various locations in my directory tree (one bib file for each topic, rather than one for each latex document). In my old (Mac OS X and Solaris) systems I could set the environment variable 'BIBINPUTS' to contain a list of directories containing my .bib files and bibtex would always find them.

For example, I have two folders

C:\My Documents\CDMA\Papers\Bib
which contains a cdma.bib file, and
C:\My Documents\GPS\Papers\Bib
which contains a gps.bib file.

So I set

BIBINPUTS = C:\My Documents\CDMA\Papers\Bib;C:\My Documents\GPS\Papers\Bib

Then, in my latex document I have:
\bibliography{gps,cdma}
and bibtex finds the right files in my directory tree.
The same is true under MiKTeX.

Unfortunately TeXnicCenter can't seem to find the .bib files. Is there any setting or option that I can set to help TeXnicCenter out with this?

Thanks.

I am new to TeXnicCenter/MiKTeX 2.7 and experiencing the same problem. Have you found a solution?
