Value cannot be Null. Parameter name: container

Question

Hi, I am using the German version of Studio 2015 SR3 and every so often I am getting the following error message when I try to create new projects:

Value cannot be Null. Parameter name: container

This happens with Word files after Trados converts into the translation format and does the analysis/pretranslation/word count steps. The file opens in Trados so the project is created but I don't get any report or statistics.

I have had this problem with other Studio versions before and although it doesnt happen as often anymore with new versions it is still highly annoying and I am losing projects because I cannot process the files.

Any idea, please???

Hi Lars Lippe , 
 
I haven't seen this one before... I'm wondering if it's related to the location of the Projects perhaps. Do you store them locally and work on them locally? Or are you using OneDrive or DropBox perhaps? 
 
Also are you using Project Templates to create your projects?
