BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ BIBTeX not working

[Stefan Kottwitz]

I'm glad you understood, so of course also I try to help if possible. The code example is already good and the first part for a real test to become able to fix it. Could you also post the test .bib file, either in the post text or as attachment to the post? Below the edit text field there's an "Upload attachment" link, when writing.

thank you for accepting my apologies. I have uploaded the file. The last entry i did it by self as a test to see what is going to happen. Because as i said the file was automatically generated by the aforementioned software.

Thank you

Did you try the code example with this .bib file? All steps?

• latex doc - compile doc with LaTeX (produces the .aux file)
• bibtex doc - generating the bibtex file
• latex doc - reading the bibtex file
• latex doc - getting references finally right

I did it and I got the reference in the text and also the reference in the "References" section.

How is your result, after you made (again) the steps above? If you don't get the result, please post your .log file as attachment.

Btw. as far as I remember in TeXnicCenter there's a "Use BibTeX" checkbox which can be marked so that BibTeX is run automatically.

I am a bit new to latex and its jargon, but if you mean first to run my document then to go and run the document of bibtex and go back and run again the latex document, then yes i did it. And indeed i can see the references but in the pdf file it appears this: (author?)[357]. So, basically now i have this problem.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Yes, I meant that way of compilation. I've got some work, will return in an hour to here. Feel free to add details if you mean, such as .log file, .pdf file attachment or screenshot.

Hi again,

Unfortunately, i am getting problems with bibtex all the time. I do not know what is the problem exactly. Last time i thought that we fix it but now again it shows up. I am getting a bit tired with it, so i will appreciate some more help.

I am attaching my files. I have my code, a screen shot and my bibtex file.

I also did the three step. Compile doc - Compile bibtex - compile doc again.

Let me know whether you need something more.
