Hi all I'm using Taco's Bibtex module and got some problems with it. \setupbibtex[database=xxxxxx,sort=author] \setuppublications[alternative=apa-de,refcommand=authoryear,monthconversion=month] \placepublications[criterium=all] ... works fine. The references list contains only publications referenced in the document. Unfortunately, I was forced to use a special bst file, since I needed to change the fields of the entrytype "misc". As I didn't find a way to make ConTeXt or texexec aware of this new file living in my document's directory, I deleted the database parameter, customised the aux file and ran bibtex by myself. The problem is, that, with the new method, only a very small subset of the referenced publication makes it into the list. If I add "criterium=all" to the setuppublications command, I get the whole database, whether the pub is referenced or not. Any ideas? Thanks and regards Peter -- Ist Ihr Browser Vista-kompatibel?

I cannot say anything about the specific problem you had, but are you sure that the high level interface of bib module does not allow you to do what you need without touching bst files? If you are playing with bst files you probably know what you are doing, but maybe you can provide a bit more details. Not everything can be done with high lever interface, but so far I never had to touch bst, yet I keep configuring lots of things. (OTOH ... I just figured out today that comments are not ignored in bib entries [any more], so I get percentage signs and unuseful text all over the place ... I really need to switch back to Word ASAP.) Mojca

That won't work, the .aux file is written by \writeauxfile. But you could replace the whole \setupbibtex command with this: \unprotect \def\@@pbdatabase{..your bib file ..} \def\bibstyle{cont-my} \writeauxfile \protect To the original poster: I have no way of knowing what goes wrong. You're basically saying: "I altered stuff but now it doesn't work anymore!" Well, there is nothing I can do about that. Best wishes, Taco

For whatever reason, the .aux file contained \bibstyle{cont-my} in my tests …
But you could replace the whole \setupbibtex command with this:
\unprotect \def\@@pbdatabase{..your bib file ..} \def\bibstyle{cont-my} \writeauxfile \protect
right. So the attached would be an appropriate long-term patch then?
