I just tried adding citations using RefTeX to the following simple
file:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
\documentclass[12pt]{article}

\usepackage{theapa}
\begin{document}


\maketitle

\section{first section}

\cite{eglen2003_neuron}

<<fig=TRUE>>=
hist(rnorm(999))
@     


\bibliographystyle{theapa}
\bibliography{sjestrings,gen}

\end{document}
----------------------------------------------------------------------

If I go to the \cite{} line and hit C-c C-[, and type a regexp, I get
the normal reftex list of matching citations; the highlight bar works
as normal (e.g. I can select the third element in the list, not just
the top match).

First thing to check is what versions of software you are using.  I am
working with [hit C-x C-e at the end of each non-indented line below
to get the answer in Emacs]


(emacs-version)
  GNU Emacs 21.3.2 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)

reftex-version
  "RefTeX version 4.16"

ess-version
  "5.2.1"


I assume reftex in a normal .tex buffer works okay?
