How Do I Define A Key Field?

[BrianKL]

My question is pretty simple. How do I define a key field. I keep reading about key fields, but no where have I found HOW to define them.

A key field is simply a field, usually a number of text field, that uniquely identifies each record in the file. This is usually accomplished by definining a number field with auto entry options to auto fill with a serial number that increments each time a record is created.

Once you have a key field, you can then use it to relate records to other databases.
