LyX ⇒ Problem with cross-referencing figures

[hooman]

Hi,
When I cross-reference figures in my thesis, the reference picks up the section numbers rather than the figure number. My figures are numbered automatically according to chapter numbers which is how I want them.
I have tried a number of things including putting the label before or after the caption, but cannot figure it out, and would appreciate some help ASPA.
Thanks,

I have figured it out. In case this has not been mentioned before:
Place the label, inside the caption box, after whatever your caption text is. I was placing the label, outside the caption box.

Thanks for providing the solution!

The important thing is that \label is called after \caption and not before. Placing it inside the caption indeed ensures this.
