LyX ⇒ Error using Lyx and Bibdesk

[dsilva22]

Hello, I'm a first time user of Lyx and i'm writing my thesis. I have a template to write the thesis accordantly to my Universities rules.

When I export the "example" file to PDF, it works great. When I add a citation and bibliography (created using bibdesk) I get the error "Missing \begin{document}" and "\makeindex[ lines]".

I'm using "autor year" notation.
When I use citations and the same bib desk file in a new document, it works fine.

Can someone please give some help?

Thanks,
Diogo Silva

Sounds to me like a problem in the preamble but without more information, we can only guess what that might be. Can you give us a minimal working example? Or at the very least, the source code for your preamble and a few lines of the document including a citation. In LyX, you can view the source code via View>View Source, then in Source pane that opens, on the right hand side is a pulldown that probably says "Current Paragraph" - change it to "Complete Source".

Thanks for the help.
I'm using OSX, if it counts for something.
Here is my source code. The citation is at the end of the document.

Best Reggards,
Diogo Silva

Both these are a bug in LyX - it inserts those \string or the " parts which are bad instead of telling you not to choose a filename with spaces. Once you resave them without spaces and reinsert both, it should show up correctly. But what are you trying to do with the first part - the bib/bibtex? Is your bib file in a different folder than the one containing the document? Are you working from multiple bib files?
