"Object reference not set to an instance of an object" when trying to save an alignment or importing into Translation Memory

Hello everybody,

I made the mistake to click on "realign" and now I can neither save my alignment nor import into TM.
I always get "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

I attached hopefully helpful error messages. One each for "save"; "save as" and "import into TM".
I am using Trados Studio 2022 - 17.0.6.14902

Looking forward to your help!

Warm Regards

Anja

That error is so slippery to correctly identify.

Do you by any chance have a TM still linked to your aligned project?
In particular a server TM?
If so could you try remove it

Looking forward to your findings

I just have a local TM.

I am not sure whether you are aware that I am not working on a project but on an alignment to create the first TM.
I already have some Data in it though as I imported some segments at an early stage.
I wouldn't know how to access my TM from Alignment Editor.

Warm Regards

Hello again,

it is now past 6 p.m. and my answer of 4 hrs ago is still queued for release. Meanwhile it looks like Trados is going to crash and I will have to start all over again.
Thanks for trying to help.
