Updated TB terms fail to show up in project

Question

I updated and added a bunch of TB terms for my project in the Multiterm Desktop window. All terms are there. However, the terms are not showing up in my project window. Instead, I am getting the non-updated terms. When I look at the Termbase files in my Explorer window, the date of the files is not today's date. Am I missing a step that will then update the Termbase for use in my project? Shouldn't this happen automatically?

I'd be suspicious that you are using the same termbase if the date has not changed in windows explorer. Sounds very odd. I know it seems obvious and apologies for that, but maybe disconnect the termbase in Studio and add it again making sure you use the one you have updated in Multiterm. Perhaps also try deleting all the index files... so everything apart from the *.sdltb. They will be recreated when you open it in Studio. 
 
Maybe also try a reset. Rename this folder and then restart Studio and Multiterm: 
 
c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL MultiTerm\MultiTerm14\

Hello Angela,

Maybe this is a refresh issue. What happens if you close the project, activate another one and then come back to this one again? You might also find a reorg in Multiterm may help as it sounds as though you are updating in bulk through Multiterm so the indexes may need rebuilding before the new lookups take proper effect.

Regards

Paul
