Default Getting Imformation from external files

Thanks Suzanne, but I can't see how this will work. I don't have a very good
understanding of fields, anychance you could give me a bit more direction.

Thanks
Steve

Hi,
I am making a product catalouge for my company and I would like to be able
to automatically update the price and possibly product desrciption from an
external file, based on an entered product code. There would be a layout
like this, with each part being in a new row, I would like the
sections
to be updated from the exteranl file (either .csv, .xls, or .xml).

Part No. XXXXXXXX
Auto Update Description for XXXXXXXX

Price Auto Update Price for XXXXXXXX

Part No. YYYYYYYY
Auto Update Description for YYYYYYYY

Price Auto Update Price for YYYYYYYY

Thanks in advance
Steve
