Showing the Account name on Opportunities screen

Question
-
I am trying to display the Account name on the opportunity screen. We log our opportunities against contacts in the system, but on the opportunity screen we are wanting to display the contact (potential customer) and the Company the contact works for. Is there any way of doing this as the Account field is not available in the available fields list.
Thanks

Correct - there isn't an easy out of the box field that display the Related Contacts potential customer. It can be shown in the View. It would be a good suggestion for Microsoft to support this in form for future version.
For now the options are to use SDK/IFrame to display this.
