I am trying to build a custom list that uses data from two custom lists. One
contains basic information about an entry and the other custom list contains
extended information. How do I connect these two? Can I do this using
frontpage? Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

You connect them via the web interface (or you can do it in FP, there
are slightly different options when you convert them to XSLT views and
connect them that way).

One list provides a field to another list (say an ID for a product from
a customer list which would then feed a product list which would have
more details about that product).

You can check out this article which should give a good intro to them:
http://www.theserverside.net/articles/showarticle.tss?id=WebParts2

If you don't want to program the interface you can connect them via the
web interface or in FrontPage 2003. This Word document focuses more on
the UI implementation of connecting web parts rather than the
programming side:
