I regularly select 3 file-based termbases (all stored on my PC) to use when I'm translating. Today, for no apparent reason, although I have selected my same standard 3 termbases, the program is only looking up the default termbase on my list. Does anyone know why?

Did you check Oct 4, 2020

if the Lookup check boxes are selected for all 3 TMs?
If yes, then try to search for a segment that is unique for TM2 or TM3. Maybe you just see hits from TM1 because no hits are available for TM2 and TM3?

Thanks Stepan Oct 4, 2020

Thanks for your comments, Stepan. All 3 lookup boxes were ticked. I still don't understand why only one termbase was being referenced - but I did the standard thing to do with all things to do with computers (I should have tried this first!), namely I shut down Trados and started up again, reselecting my 3 termbases - and now all of them are visible! Wishing you a pleasant rest of Sunday, Sue
