Error: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" when trying to add a new term.
The Term recognition window shows recognized terms, but when I try to add new terms, this error appears.
If I open MultiTerm program, I can add the new term and then, the term appears in the Term recognition window.
I reorganized the termbase, but the same error appears in Trados.

Perhaps the file type is not selected in Option - Filetypes Mar 14, 2019

I had this problem today with an xlsx-file, and the reason was that I had not selected EXcel 2016 file type.

Trados 2017, MultiTerm error Mar 15, 2019

Thank you for your reply, but the problem is not that simple. I was using word documents, so there is no conflict here.

I found the solution Mar 19, 2019

While waiting for SDL support (came after one week!) I solved the problem.
It was caused by my antivirus, which blocked the connection to SDL.

Steps:
I added SDL to safe programs
I returned the license and deleted the program from my computer
I reinstalled the program off-line.

The problem was caused by having different Multiterm and Trados versions (I previously added Multiterm to safe programs, but not Trados).
