Synthetic keys are generated when 2 or more tables share 2 or more commonly named fields.  you can modify the source data to create single linking IDs, or you can rename fields in the data manager to make the names unique, thus breaking the link. can you post some sample data so that i can try to give a more specific solution?

Use the Data Manager instead of the Data Load Editor to rename fields. Or rename fields in the source databases/files.
