Associate Business Contact with Multiple Accounts

[David E. Solie]

I have a client who works with individuals who are associated with multiple
organizations. Is there any way to associate a single Business Contact with
more than one Business Account?

David,

Now why would your client want to go about doing something so silly as this?
According to legend, the great MS has spent vast sums of $ "researching" the
needs of small business users before designing BCM. Accordingly, linking an
individual with more that just 1 Account or Opportunity is NOT supported.

This multiple linking capability has been LACKING IN BCM FOR 5 YEARS!! Some
programming nerd in a labcoat up in Redmond might just eventually notice that
every other contact management application on the planet has this
functionality.

Hang in there. Within a year or 2 yet, this "may" be included in a future
update ... not that anyone would really ever need this out there in the real
world of business or anything!
