Choose Table
Choose the database table to generate pages from. Scroll through the list of
table names and choose one by clicking on it. Once you select your table, the
names of the fields in the table will appear in other lists.
Specify which field in your table is the unique key by choosing it in the list. Then, indicate if it is numeric and / or of the AutoNumber type, by checking the appropriate boxes. A unique key is a field in a table that contains information that is unique to each record and thus uniquely identifies each record. If the unique key is Numeric (and can not contain letters or special characters) check Numeric.
It is highly recommended that your unique key be numeric and of the 'auto number' type. Advanced users are more likely to have success while choosing to have a unique key that is other than numeric and of the autonumber type.
About Auto Number: Usually if the unique key is numeric, it
is also of the "Auto Number" type. In this case, the database itself
automatically generates a new and unique number or "key" for each
new record added to the table. This removes the burden of ensuring each record
has at least one field of information that uniquely identifies it. Note:
This is all done automatically, hence the name 'auto number'. See the "Frequent
Questions" section on our Web
site for more information.
