Hi everyone,

Suddenly have a problem with MemoQ, which doesn't let me either import new files or export completed ones. In either case I get an error message telling me the process is unable to access a file in the \AppData\Local\Temp\mq\ directory, because it "is in use by another process." The following is an example:

"Il processo non può accedere al file 'C:\Users\Simon\AppData\Local\Temp\mq\istorafd89a7d-6b6f-4f29-b4c9-a477a97e5df0\foundCommentIds' perché è in us

Have tried closing all other programs and rebooting the computer, but to no avail...

This has basically crippled me, so would appreciate any suggestions! Thanks!

This is one of miracles of MemoQ Jan 16, 2017

I have not encountered this problem regarding "Import" but know it from "export". In these cases, the only solution known to me is to export bilingual file in RTF and then make docx file from bilingual one.

Thanks Maija, that does seem to work. At least if I can't solve the problem any other way, I know I can recover work already done, which is a relief!
There must be a way of solving the problem permanently though, I imagine, since something has clearly gone wrong with the software...

and don't forget to mark the problem as "critical" otherwise they'll answer after a couple of months:)

By the way, this problem usually vanishes on its own. There is no way how to export a particular document but next one can be exported without any issues.

is it importing now? Jan 16, 2017

Have you managed to import a new file yet? Otherwise I suppose I could give a hand in the meantime by converting the source file into something it will read, MQXLIFF or bilingual RTF etc.

Hi Anthony, yes, I know you're an expert on MQ, and you are right in assuming it will import a bilingual rtf (I just tried with one I already had from a previous translation)... But how do I create a bilingual rtf from a monolingual source text? Thanks for any help...

but the docx files can be imported by clicking on "New Project" or have I misunderstood something? I am a computer idiot. alas, but I think that importing mostly concerns .tmx files or Termbases.

Clean Temp folder Jan 17, 2017

Close memoQ, delete all files from the "\AppData\Local\Temp" folder, reboot the computer and try again.
Maybe memoQ forgot to close or delete some temporary files or maybe it tries to create TMP file with the same name in the temporary folder.
