When creating the link to the details page, pass the primary key of the
record as a query string at the end of the URL like this:

details.php?article_id=5

The way to code this is to select the link in Design view, and click the
folder icon to the right of the Link field in the Property inspector.
Select the name of the details page, but don't click OK. Instead, click
the Parameters button in the dialog box. In the new dialog box that
opens, type the name of the primary key into the Name field. Then click
the lightning bolt icon to the right of the Value field, and select the
primary key from the recordset.

In the details page, use URL parameter as the filter to select the
appropriate record.
