I just installed 2007 Beta and I have not be able to figure out where all of
my linked contacts have gone which were assoicated with each individual
contact in 2003.  There is no longer a field in each contact pane in the
lower left corner for "Contacts".  Where did the links go and how do you link
contacts in 2007?

The links are still there, but the UI is not turned on by default. Tools | Options | Contact Options | Show contact activity information on all forms.

(But the links will only persist if the Outlook data was migrated
correctly).

Thank you Sue & Russ.  It worked perfectly.  I, however, needed to close
Outlook and restart it for the links to appear.  Russ, I had a feeling that
you would say something about migrating correctly.  We have discussed that
issue a few times in the past.  I simply downloaded 2007 Beta and upgraded my
2003 version.  So far, so good.

Thanks-
Kevin

Good to know. Very few people are willing to sacrifice an exisiting
production installation to an in place installation of a beta. So an upgrade
scenario has not been tested. There have been a lot of problems with PST
file migration in earlier builds. So now we know it's worked at least once
:)
