Dear members,
I am a beginner in LateX and use TeXnicCenter to write a document.
When I compile the file, the following errors show up:
I found no \citation commands --- while reading file
I found no \bibdata command --- while reading file
I found no \bibstyle command --- while reading file
Couldn't find input index file C:\Users\...
Can someone please tell me what I should do (and how)?

No Execution of file after compilation!
Simply neglect it. TeXnicCenter (TXC) just tries automatically to generate an index and a bibliography from a database file. Until you haven't inserted index entries or citations from a bibliography database in your document, the corresponding auxiliary files are empty and cause these messages. If you want to turn off this behaviour, start TXC, press Alt+F7 and check the according boxes (see attachment).latexman wrote:[…] Can someone please tell me what I should do (and how)?
Best regards and welcome to the board

Re: No Execution of file after compilation!
Thanks for your quick answer.
The document that I have was sent to me by a friend. When I change some text and compiled, no changes appear in the the pdf that was issued. Thats why I think its not compiling at all.
Back to your reply:
After opening the window with the alt+f7 I ticked the box next the the command Do not use BibTex commands, however, the list of non found files got bigger. So that didnt work.
If this might help, I am using these packages:
\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{graphics}
\usepackage{fancybox}
\usepackage{shadow}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{accents}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{tabularx}
Maybe I have to install the three unfound files that the compiler listed. Do you know how I can do this?

Seems to be caused by a well known MiKTeX issue with TeXnicCenter (TXC) [1].latexman wrote:[…] The document that I have was sent to me by a friend. When I change some text and compiled, no changes appear in the the pdf that was issued. Thats why I think its not compiling at all. […]
Should be solved after the above mentioned issue is fixed.latexman wrote:[…] After opening the window with the alt+f7 I ticked the box next the the command Do not use BibTex commands, however, the list of non found files got bigger.
