General ⇒ ACS achemso package bibliography problem

[zahid]

Dear all,
I am writing an article using achemso package provided by American Chemical Society. I have a problem with bibliography section. I use the command

Code: Select all

\bibliography{nameOfTheFileContainingReferences}

There are more than 20 reference in that .bib file but it does not produce anything in my document (also there is no error message during compilation). I also tried the command

Code: Select all

\bibliographystyle{achemso}
\bibliography{nameOfTheFileContainingReferences}

and that does not work either. When I tried to compile the

achemso-demo.tex

provided in the ACS achemso bundle all reference numbers in the .pdf file were replaced by

?

marks.
Can somebody help me out please? Do I need any other latex package to get the references appear in the main document? Thanks.

Hi,

you must compile using (pdf)latex, then bibtex, and finally (pdf)latex two more times.

Dear gmedina,
Thank you very much for this help. It works. Thank you once again.
