I recently upgraded from Office XP, and have hit a pile of problems. One is
that I used the "Contacts" field at the bottom of Contacts, Appointments, and
etc a lot. For instance, I linked people together this way into useful webs.
If I forgot Jenny's caseworker's name I could still open Jenny's contact,
then just click on the caseworker in the list of contacts at the bottom, and
get her phone number.

All that seems to have died in 2007. How do I restore it? I find the
contacts listed in the "Frequently Used Fields", but they're DEAD! I can't
click on them to bring them up! So, to get the same functionality I need to
do several clicks and then cut and paste?

I recall there were instructions to recreate this somewhere on this site,
but I haven't been able to find it in an hour of searching...

So, there must be a way. Do I have to use "Business Contacts Manager" and
fake all this as "business" relations?

Thanks & happy trails,
Stuart

The link is off by default in 20O7.

Tools/ options/ contact options/ turn on the "show contact linking ..."
setting.
