I'm using emacs+AUCTeX+RefTeX and I have a problem with C-c [, namely, it doesn't open a list of matches from my .bib file.

In more details, I have the following in my preamble:

\usepackage[style=alphabetic,sorting=debug]{biblatex}
\bibliography{ref} %ref.bib is my bibtex file

And then, at the end, I have \printbibliography.

I don't even know where to start looking for the solution. Can anyone help me please. Thanks!

Try closing the file and opening it again. Also try running bibtex on the file. – Seamus Jul 22 '11 at 10:12
You can also set the reftex-default-bibliography variable it you use the same bibliography for all your documnets... – Seamus Jul 22 '11 at 10:14
@Seamus: You mean running bibtex of the .tex file, right? I did it. I need this for a particular project with separate bib file. – Dror Jul 22 '11 at 11:42
Do you get an "no bibliography found" error or does it just not work at all? Are you sure reftex is "on" for that file? – Seamus Jul 22 '11 at 12:00
Also, does the file currently contain any references? Adding one "by hand" and then running bibtex might help... – Seamus Jul 22 '11 at 12:06
