bibtex cannot find library

[Dan Bebber]

Hi,

I am having trouble with a simple document (I am new to Latex).
I am running Windows XP SP2, WinEdt 5.5, MiKTeX 2.6.
I have altered the tree to search for my .bib file in the correct place.
The file is found and \cite{} brings up the database.

My .tex file is:
%start
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Test

\cite{Amiro2001}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{bebber}
\end{document}
%end

When I press the TeXify button and look at the DVI, the citation is
given as [?] and the Bibliography is empty.

The .blg contains:
This is BibTeX, Version 0.99cThe top-level auxiliary file: test.aux
The style file: plain.bst
I couldn't open database file bebber.bib
---line 4 of file test.aux
: \bibdata{bebber
: }
I'm skipping whatever remains of this command
I found no database files---while reading file test.aux
Warning--I didn't find a database entry for "Amiro2001"
(There were 2 error messages)

The .log file contains:
LaTeX Warning: Citation `Amiro2001' on page 1 undefined on input line 5.

(test.bbl

LaTeX Warning: Empty `thebibliography' environment on input line 3.

) [1

] (test.aux)

LaTeX Warning: There were undefined references.

)

What is going on?
Thanks
Dan Bebber

What do you mean by this?

How do you know that the bib is found? Look at the log-file of a LateX
run: LaTeX isn't even trying to search for the .bib.

But bibtex is searching for the bib and doesn't find it.
Put the bib in <root>/bibtex/bib/<whatever>/ and then renew the filename
database. (<root> should be UserConfig or a local root).
