Subject: Re: Problems with Reference Manager 12 Author: gavin100 (New User) Date: 03-26-2009 06:04 PM I think I have a similar problem.  We have  4000 strong database that was working smoothly.  Bibliography built successfully and even CWYW worked.  However now some of our temporary citations are not detected.  I can "insert citation" from a single database in a brand new database, "build bibliography" and the citation is not recognized.  In some cases, a different citation will work fine in the same document, from the same database.  We are inserting citations in the form "{Mueller, 2003 4100 /id}" and when we build the bibliogrpahy RM12 says it can't find "Mueller, 2003 4100 /id".  The work around is to go through by hand and re-find the citations for it....but thats not an ideal solution!

Subject: Re: Problems with Reference Manager 12 Author: gavin100 (New User) Date: 03-31-2009 04:18 PM The work around is to change all your in-text citations to be just the ref number (so something like {4326}) rather than the full author/date/refnum....at least it works so far....

RM12 failed to format the in-text citations, and neither of the above work arounds works for me. I have to use instant formatting instead.

Subject: Re: Problems with Reference Manager 12 Author: pablog (New User) Date: 05-19-2009 03:55 PM Hi,   We have the same problems with the "insert citation" search in Word and when we want to generate the bibliography after revert the references to original text . I have made a lot of tests and I found two critical bugs : It's impossible to find the references with the sign "/" in the name of the author (for example "UNAIDS/WHO") with the "insert citation" search in Word If we use the database with "Read-Write Share" rights the "insert citation" search don't work normally and a lot of references are not found if you have a database with more than 50 records and you try to retrieve the records by author's name and year. Those problems are recurrent and concerns also the generation of the bibliography after a revert to original text, because the references must be retrieved by the author's name and the year of publication.   The 2nd bug comes only if you work with "Read-Write Share" rights. If you open the database with "Read-Write Exclusive" rights the insert citation search works normally excepted the first bug.   I didn't install the update 12.0.1, perhaps those bugs are now fixed. If not, I hope they will fixed in the next update!!   PS : I work with Reference Manager 12.0.0 (Bld 2401) and Word 2000 (Windows XP SP-3)
