Rick-Proface Where to start?
Hi, I'm new to Salesforce development and would like someone to point me in the right direction for the project I have been assigned.
My project is fairly simple. I want to click a button on a SF page and open a new window to a web page I already have that lists our part numbers. Then the user would be able to select a part and then this number would populate a field back on the SF page. Our part numbers change alot and importing all of them into SF would be a nightmare.
I've been looking at the SF documentation and there are alot of different options for development, but I'm having a hard time figuring out which path I should pursue.
Thanks to all who reply.

Sales Force normal pages do stuff like this all the time but I haven't seen any Visual Force/Apex functionality to magically do this for you.
I think you will probably have to do the following
On your Visual Foce page pop up a new window with java script.
When the user clicks/selects the value in that window you close it and pass the value back to the caller (original) window.
This is generally done though java script by setting a value in the parent window.
You will have to goggle it since I don't have any code sitting around right now that does this but hopefully this will set you in the right direction.
