There are serious problems when you try to install a table from another database (same version 8) checking including data for Table. The installation ends normally but when I try to open the table installed, DataEase crashes and ends with an Access Violation.

The problem is Locking. 

In DE7 and DE8 you can run a Local version of DE with Locking and this is enabled by default in DE8.

To be able to install a Table with Data you need to run DE as standalone. The best way to do this is simply to disable Shared Local Database.

You find the setting for this in the File menu outside the app i.e. just open DE8.1, close the Welcome Dialogue (escape). and choose  File/Options and then the Tab Database Engine.

UnCheck the Shared Local Database checkbox and hit OK. 

I’ve tried to import a table in standalone mode as suggested ad it’s work fine.

But there’s a very serious problem when I try to import a very large table that contains more than 1.500.000 records. (DBM) DataEase crashes with a GPF – Access violation. I use often this function and I have several tables that contains a large amount of data. I send you a separate mail for testing purpose.

Problem with import of large tables (.dbm) import has been fiexed in 1533.
