Question mark instead of citation number

how to replace [?] with the actual numerical citation. I'm trying to create a bilbiography in Winshell from a database (.bib file). Within the bib file, I click on pdflatex, then bibtek, then pdflatex twice, and then pdf. My pdf shows [?] for numerical citations and no complete bibliography. Please help!

    Hi Keith, the question mark alone is only an indicator that something went wrong but not enough to diagnose the problem. Try to create a minimal working example (MWE) to reproduce your problem. – Alexander Oct 22 '12 at 09:09

    Have a look at http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/63852/question-mark-instead-of-citation-number; especially at Paul Stanley's answer. – lockstep Oct 22 '12 at 09:12
  • \documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{report} \usepackage{graphicx} \pagestyle{headings}
