Hello all,

How can I get bibtex to recognise cross-referenced items? eg. I have in a file
called proceedings.bib:

@PROCEEDINGS{ICPR1984,
      KEY = {ICPR1984},
      TITLE = {Seventh International Conference on Pattern Recognition
(Montreal, Canada, July 30-August 2, 1984)},
      BOOKTITLE = {Seventh International Conference on Pattern Recognition
(Montreal, Canada, July 30-August 2, 1984)},
      YEAR = {1984},
      AUTHOR = {Proceedings},
      PUBLISHER = IEEE,
      ORGANIZATION = IEEE,
      ADDRESS = {},
      SERIES = {IEEE Publ. 84CH2046-1}
}

and in file warp.bib I have:

@INPROCEEDINGS{Akatsuka84,
      AUTHOR = {M. Yanagisawa and S. Shigemitsu and T. Akatsuka},
      TITLE = {Registration of Locally Distorted Images by    Multiwindow
Pattern Matching and Displacement       Interpolation: the Proposal of an
Algorithm and its Application to Digital Subtraction Angiography},
      YEAR = 1984,
      CROSSREF = {ICPR1984},
      INSTITUTION = {U Tsukuba/Yamagata U},
      PAGES = {1288-1291},
      KEYWORDS = {IMAGE MULTIPLICITY COMPARISON}}

and the tail of my LaTeX file contains the entry:

\bibliography{strings,proceedings,warp}

Even though the strings such as IEEE are handled correctly, it gives the
following warnings and skips the journal title.

A bad cross reference---entry "Akatsuka84"
refers to entry "ICPR1984", which doesn't exist
...
and 

Warning--I didn't find a database entry for "ICPR1984"

Can somebody please help me?

Bandu
