Problem with achemso package

Post by bobscott »

Hi,
I m trying to use the achemso package for my citations. I had no problem in the past but I just updated my MiKTeX and TeXnicCenter and now, I get this error :
"Warning--I didn't find a database entry for "achemso-control"".
I have read that it could come from a bad installation of the achemso package but I have just installed it with MiKTeX so it shouldnt come from there.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance

Could you prepare a minimal example, including \listfiles, and post the log file and the example here?

Problem with achemso package

Hi,
This is a short example :

Code: Select all

\documentclass {report}

\usepackage{txfonts}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{graphicx}
    \DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.eps}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage[citeonce(document)]{footbib}

\usepackage{achemso}

\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{mciteplus}

\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage[margin=2cm,nohead]{geometry}

\begin{document}
\footbibliography{brouillon}
\footbibliographystyle{achemso}


blabla\footcite{Clark2007}

\end{document}
I have left all the different packages I am normally using, in case there is a conflict between 2 packages. So first, I latex this, then bibtex the fb.aux file and when i want to bibtex the normal file i get this:
This is BibTeX, Version 0.99dThe top-level auxiliary file: C:\Documents and Settings\Bora SIENG\Mes documents\Th
The style file: achemso.bst
I found no \bibdata command---while reading file C:\Documents and Settings\Bora SIENG\Mes documents\Th
Warning--I didn't find a database entry for "achemso-control"
(There was 1 error message)
And then it is impossible to latex again the normal file, it says I have a problem in the fb.bbl file.

Thank you

This seems to be due to the footbib package making poor assumptions about .bbl files. achemso uses the natbib package, and you see the same issue with one of the standard natbib styles:

Code: Select all

\documentclass {report}

\usepackage[citeonce(document)]{footbib}

\usepackage{natbib}
\begin{document}
\footbibliography{brouillon}
\footbibliographystyle{unsrtnat}

blabla\footcite{Clark2007}

\end{document}
