Activate "Contacts" field within a Contact

[AJ]

I just upgraded from 2003 to 2007. I was using the Link Contact field in
2003. I just found the Contacts field in 2007 but I cannot edit this field.
How do I activate the field. Is there a way to show this field when you open
a contact?

You need to add the field to that view:
Tools > Options > Preferences > Contact Options > Show Contact Linking...

Its not the same at all.
Nor does autocompletion have anything to do with your Contacts. It uses a
cache of your previous recipients.
