I therefore end up with several target units including ones with minor errors in that I have since corrected, which is unhelpful. Project Settings are set to 'Merge translation units (recommended)'. I have not had this problem before. Current project uses 'Any TM' for a translation from FR to US English (the TM used is FR to UK English). I wonder if problem could be specific to the Any TM setting. Is there a way around this?

I got round this by just updating the TM in the same language pair, and only using AnyTM to look things up in the other TMs with different language variants.
In the meantime with the latest versions of Trados (2019) the issue with AnyTM may have been resolved.
I have now merged all the language variant pairs into a single TM.
I may still use a 2nd, smaller TM for adding new translations to, because once the big TM suddenly stopped working, and the "TMRepair" utility did not work, I had to restore it using the "WordFast Converter" program.
Some people recommend exporting a big TM to tmx, as a more stable format, for backup purposes.
Before this, there had been an issue when the TM look-up stopped working, and the solution for this was to turn off "Match Repair" in the Project Settings.
