English or
Metric, to match the units of your project,
from the
Dimensions radio buttons.

Enter the column headers (field names) in the
Field Specification field.

If the field name is of a keyed column, check the
Key? box.
Each entry in a table needs to be unique from
all the rest. You specify how each entry is unique with a key. For example,
each pipe class code is different from all of the others and thus the
Pipe-Class column is the key for the table. However, in the cradle-dimensions
table, there can be multiple cradle-thicknesses for each pipe size; but, the
combination of pipe-size and insulation-thickness is unique and both columns
are designated as keys.
