Hello every one

You could create a filter that would import those numbers into the PubMed field in a Bookends library (see User Guide in the Help menu about how to create/edit import filters). Then you could use Refs-> Autofill from Internet to get the references from PubMed (I would do them in chunks of several hundred, not 4000 at once).

thank you for your quick reply
It worked very well
As a marter of fact, I did it twice with 2000 references without a problem.
