Multiterm recognizes a few entered terms, then stops recognizing. When I quit both Workbench & Multiterm and restart, MultiTerm does the same thing.
When I exit multiterm I get the message
"MEM-BAD-POINTER"
Cheking with Smartheap Library I get:
Runtime Error
Program c:\program files\Trados\MTiX\Multiterm\Multiterm.exe
I would appreciate any help.

| Can you search terms in MultiTerm? | Apr 8, 2005 |
Hi Sami,
Can you search terms in MultiTerm?
Does the problem also occur without MultiTerm running (note that MTiX does not have to be active to perform term recognition in Workbench)?
What are your terminology settings?
Is background recognition activated?
Best, Ralf

| Couple more issues I can think of... | Apr 8, 2005 |
- Try reorganising the termbase.
- Are there any termbase objects (attributes, project codes, etc.) containing special characters (/, ?, &, etc.)? I once had problems with those...
Have you submitted a problem report on the Trados website?
Can't think of anything else...
Best, Ralf

Hi Ralf,
Thank you again for your help.
I have reorganized the termbese with no avail.
I noticed there are some special characters in the termbase.
You mentioned / , $, %, &, etc.). I would like to know what the other special characters are. Is every character other than the alphabet a special character? Even commas, periods colon, semi-colon, brackets, inverted commas, asterisks, plus, minus, equal, division signs, Question mark, @, #, ^,`, ~... See more Hi Ralf,

I have reorganized the termbese with no avail.
I noticed there are some special characters in the termbase.
You mentioned / , $, %, &, etc.). I would like to know what the other special characters are. Is every character other than the alphabet a special character? Even commas, periods colon, semi-colon, brackets, inverted commas, asterisks, plus, minus, equal, division signs, Question mark, @, #, ^,`, ~, , ", :, :, ;, !?
Would any of those character cause problems if included in the termbase?
Kind regards,

Hi again,

Possibly.
Would any of those character cause problems if included in the termbase?
Not in the termbase, but in termbase objects such as attributes, input models, etc.
Best regards,
Ralf

Dear Ralf,
Thank you for your help. I cleaned the Termbase from all special characters. No change.
Dear Alersandr,
"Ignore sub-languages" is selected. Therefore, that might not be a problem with me. Though, I found a difference in sub-languages and corrected it. There was no change.

My term rec is not working, and the reason is most likely that I had to install my old 5.5.2.257 while 6.2.0.287 was still installed...

The reason for installing was that my client provided me with a password protected glossary in mt 5.5 format, and when I entered the password it was possible to use it (to search in it), but I got a nasty error message when I tried to convert it into xml for import into MT ...

After finishing my project I will try to uninstall 5.5, and hopefully I will get term rec back... ▲ Collapse
| | | | | Now it works! | Apr 11, 2005 |
I used the meny system in Windows and run the "Register"-command (MS DOS command)for Trados 6.5.
Now I have term rec in both Multiterm versions. Fantastic!
This trick might work for others with the problem that term rec doesn't work as well. Good luck!
