BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Revisions in BibTeX Entry not updated

[vshih]

I know BibTeX has some updating issues but not sure if this falls into that realm. I usually put in the information in the .bib file, call it from the .tex file using some \cite command. Then I find out I accidentally typed something wrong, say the title of the article was "This Great Article" and the typo was, "This Gret Article". Here are some of the things I've done that didn't work:

1. Make the revision in .bib file -> save -> run it -> open .tex -> run it -> reference still has typo
2. Delete article entry in .bib file -> save -> run it -> open .tex -> run it -> reference still there (??)

The only thing that's worked so far is to create a whole new .bib file, copy and paste the entries, excluding the one with the typo. Then add in a new entry with the right title "This Great Article", save it, run it, open .tex, and run that.

Please tell me this isn't the problem people are having with BibTeX not being updated because it's driving me insane. It also doesn't help that I use TeXnicCenter for the .tex file and JabRef for .bib so before trying to fix anything, I must close both programs and open both .tex and .bib using plain TexWorks to make this work.

Suggestions? Recommendations??

Hi vshih,
to update everything in your document delete all auxiliary files (as .aux, .bbl, etc.) and tex your document again (depending on your distribution and the complexity of your document 1-3 times...).

Hope this helps,

best regards.
