Table of Contents (Tables) Caption Page Numbers

Hi,

I have a very long table spanning multiple pages, 3 pages, I have added a below table capiton.

Then I added a table of contents (at the begining of document) and auto generated page numbers. However the page numbers reflect the 3rd page. How do I make reflect the 1st page, where the table begins.

Tried to search online and cant find a solution.

Any help is much appreciated.

You can of course move the caption so that it precedes the table (this is common for table captions in some documents), which would take care of the pr
