"Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error message with SDL TRADOS 2015

Question

Hello everybody, 
 
 My client sent me two .mqxliff files to translate. I have then created a project under SDL TRADOS 2015. 
 However, when trying to save both .mqxliff files, I get an error message saying "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". 
 I really don't how to solve this problem. 
 
 Can I find any help here? 
 Thank you in advance.

Hi Christophe Henri 
 
To troubleshoot files try this article: 
 
How to troubleshoot problematic files : gateway.sdl.com/.../communityknowledge 
 
More often, the solution to these problems is resolved like this: 
 
- Open the source file again using the "Translate Single Document" process 
- Save it to create a single file project 
- Try to save target now before you do anything. 
- If it works go onto the next step, but if it doesn't then you need to consider the more advanced trouble shooting steps in the KB article 
- Pretranslate the file using your Translation Memory 
- Save the target file 
 
If none of that helps, and if you are allowed to share the file you can send me the fully translated sdlxliff and the original source files and I'll happily take a look.
