I keep receiving the error message "Referência de objeto não definida para uma instância de um objeto" when trying to use the TM

Hello,

I use Trados Studio 2022 and I noticed that, even if the TMs are enabled in Project Settings, in Editor (TM results section) they are not showing up. It just says "none".

When I try to click on Concorcance Search, I get the error message "Referência de objeto não definida para uma instância de um objeto".

This happens with projects I have just created and with projects I received from clients.

I have the latest update (downloaded and installed yesterday), but the problem continues. Tried to search for guidance in the Community, but haven't found any.

I have just returned from a 20-day vacation period and returning now, issue wasn't happening before.

Any urgent help, please? I have projects that must be delivered today.

Trados Studio error message stating 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' during a Concordance Search with no open translation.

    Could you please post the full stack after clicking the floppy disk icon on your scren-shot?

  • Hi Jesús,

    I had already clicked on OK by the time I received your reply.

    I closed Trados and reopened it to see if I got the same message, but it is not showing up now when I click on Concordance Search.

    However, the TMs are still not opening, even though they are enabled and ticked for update on Project Settings. One of the TMs is from server (which is connected) and the other from file.

    Trados Studio screenshot showing Concordance Search and Term Recognition windows with messages 'No open translation memory' and 'No open termbase' respectively.

  • I had already clicked on OK by the time I received your reply.

    The non-reference object error is too general to give a clue of what can be the issue. That’s the reason to click on the floppy disk icon and post the full stack. Otherwise we know nothing…

    Are you able to see the file-based TM in your Windows Explorer? Is the folder sync’ed by OneDrive (or similar service)?

    Did you update from 2022 version to latest version of Trados Studio 2022 or from 2021?

  • No, the folder is not synced by OneDrive.

    I updated from 2019, I think. It was a long time ago (the update I mentioned that I did yesterday was just a regular one, not a version upgrade), and everything was fine until yesterday.

  • Hi  ,

    I reopened the file one more time and the error is displayed again. Is this what you need?
