In a user interface presenting one or more objects to a user, a method and system are provided for allowing the user to enter data into fields in a non-sequential manner, in order to expedite the entry of the data. The specific fields which are to be accessed and their order are predetermined by the user and stored on the data processing system. When the ordered entry is invoked, the user presses the tab key on the keyboard to move the cursor to the next field in the order. The present invention processes the tab key entry and determines if the object containing the next field is located on the user interface. If not, then the object is automatically invoked so as to expose the next field to the user. Data can then be entered into this next field. If the object that needs to be invoked is dependent on a parent object, then the present invention determines if the parent object is on the user interface, and if not invokes the parent object. The dependent object is invoked through the parent object.
