Abstract
Abstract A method and system in a computer network for allowing predefined personal user information to be automatically accessed and utilized by remote network sites having interactive query fields. Initially, a personal user information list is compiled such that the personal user information list includes personal user information that may be utilized in association with on-line electronic forms. The personal user information list is thereafter prestored at a local network site. A remote network site having an interactive query field wherein users may enter personal user information is then accessed. The personal user information list is thereafter automatically accessed, in response to accessing the remote network site having the interactive query field. Finally, personal user information accessed from the personal user information list is automatically entered within the interactive query field, such that the personal user information does not have to be repetitively re-keyed within the interactive query field.
