ABSTRACT:
Principles of the present invention provide a method of entering a default field value in a second data entry field based on a user's current entry in a first data entry field. The method establishes a relational index table, the relational index table including at least one record having at least three fields. The fields include: a parent field containing a prior entry in the first data entry field; a child field containing an associated prior entry in the second data entry field; and a frequency field including a count of the number of times the prior entry in the first data entry field was associated with the prior entry in the second data entry field. The method further includes: receiving the user's current entry in the first data entry field; and looking up the user's current entry in the first data entry field in the parent field of the relational index table and returning the associated prior entry in the child field as the default field value.
