Error concerining auxiliary file

Post by poeli »

Hi all,

I'm finalising my bibliography in Latex (I use Texmaker) and stumbled upon some problems. I use Jabref to produce a file to be read by texmaker (my .bib file). There, I changed the Bibtexkey to 'adkins'. In one of my chapters I had written Adkins as cite, so I changed it to adkins too. But now I get a question mark instead of the citation. I deleted the auxiliary file of my main file (but not of the chapter its file) without a result.
Another problem I'm facing is that Texmaker states that the word 'intro' is not a Bibtexkey in my Jabref .bib file. But if I open the .bib file into Texmaker I do see the Bibtexkey 'intro'.
Can anyone be my guide on this discovery of Bibtex? All the other references and bibliography (27 pieces) seem to work out okay without a problem.

This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (MiKTeX 2.9 64-bit) The top-level auxiliary file: Samenstelling.aux Case mismatch error between cite keys adkins and Adkins ---line 74 of file Samenstelling.aux : \citation{adkins : } I'm skipping whatever remains of this command The style file: plain.bst Illegal, another \bibstyle command---line 218 of file Samenstelling.aux : \bibstyle : {plain} I'm skipping whatever remains of this command Database file #1: referenties.bib Warning--I didn't find a database entry for "intro"

You should try to reduce your code to a minimal working example. This efficientely breaks down the code to the cause of error.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

A minimal working example doesn't help here... The bibliography command is in my main file and the reference to adkins is one in my chapters. The problem is that it refers to Adkins while I have nothing in my Jabref which bibtexkey is Adkins. I also don't cite Adkins in one of my files.

A minimal working example (MWE) is always helpful, since it gives us something to test. Check your bibkeys carefully for spelling mistakes. Delete the aux-file and run again the sequence latex -> bibtex -> latex (might need 2 runs).
