Hi,
I am new to using this software and I would greatly appreciate your help. I am trying to create a new termbase in MultiTerm 2015 Desktop SR2.
I follow all the steps as indicated in the tutorials and after clicking the "Finish" tab I get the following message: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". I am currently using Windows 10.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Marina
Hi Marina,
The object reference error name is very generic and we would really need the full stack trace underneath it to be able to investigate this further. So attaching the error stack as the xml file you get when you click here is helpful:
You can add an image by replying with the rich formatting options here:
However, I think it would be worth trying a reset first as this often cures errors like this that we may not be able resolve off the back of one error message anyway. Rename this folder (just add _old to the end or something, it's not important what you rename it to) and restart MultiTerm:
c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL MultiTerm\MultiTerm12
Maybe this will resolve the problem for you. But if not share the error stack and we can look at this again.
Regards
Paul

Hi Jesse,
Thanks for your reply.
From:
c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL MultiTerm\MultiTerm12, USERNAME – contains an “&” and cannot be changed. Trados and Multiterm are installed on this USERNAME containing an “&”.
For the first problem, “object error”, the path was changed so the termbase is saved elsewhere. This change enables me to save a termbase without error.
Now for the second problem – what do you suggest? Should I uninstall Multiterm and its components and install it from a different user? If I do this what happens with Trados? Will it work?
Regards,
Marina
