Have you copied all accessory files? Jan 16, 2016

A DVX TM consists of several files (usually at least four of them):
<TM name>.dvmdb (the main file)
<TM name>.dvmdx
<TM name>.<language code 1>.dvmdi
<TM name>.<language code 2>.dvmdi
...
<TM name>.<language code n>.dvmdi

Did you copy all files?

If you didn't and don't have access to the original files, you can try to repair the TM from within DVX: Menu File > Tools > Repair > Translation Memory.

I didn't Jan 16, 2016

Which is weird, because I actually just copied the folder...
Well, thank you for the pointers. I hope the repair will work.
