I have two folders in my Contacts list.  One is for Projects, the other is
for Builders.  In the Project folder, the name of the Project is listed in
the "Company" field.  In the Builder folder, the Builder's company name is
listed in the "Company" field.  Each entry also has a contact person in the
"Name" field.  

So that I can quikly see which Builders are involved in a Project or which
Projects a Builder is working on, I link them together.  However, the name of
the contact person appears in the "Contacts..." field (lower left corner).  I
want the Company name (name of the Builder) to appear in the "Contacts..."
feild as this is more helpful to me.  The only way I can think to do it is to
create a second contact for each entry which does not include a contact
person name as it will then default so the "Company" field is what appears in
the "Contacts..." field.  Is there a way to set the default so that the
"Company" name will always appear there?

The Contacts control can only show one name for a contact -- whatever text you have entered in the Full Name field.
