I get the above message, every time I confirm a segment.

I am not sure what has happened. This message began to display the last time I was using MemoQ - in a completely different project (that had been working fine previously). As the project was nearly complete, and the documents were synchronising fine, I didn't get around to trying to fix it.

I get the above message, every time I confirm a segment.

I am not sure what has happened. This message began to display the last time I was using MemoQ - in a completely different project (that had been working fine previously). As the project was nearly complete, and the documents were synchronising fine, I didn't get around to trying to fix it.

However, it's now back, and displaying (with a loud chime) on every segment. If I go to the resources, the TM is indeed checked as "read-only", but the checkbox is greyed out, so I can't uncheck it.

I've navigated to the TM in Windows Explorer, and removed the read-only access there, but it makes no difference to MemoQ.

I am running MemoQ 7.8.175 on Windows 10.

Anyone had this before? ▲ Collapse

Recreate the TM Jul 23, 2018

You could always recreate the TM.

Export the TM to a TMX, create a new TM and re-import the TMX.

Hi John

That's what I did in the end, and the only thing that worked.
