Contacts in multiple accounts?

Question
-
Okay so i have an issue..
We currently are redoing our account structure to this below: This is an example of the company i am doing, most will have variable levels
level 1 : Head Office
level 2 : District
level 3 : Field
Now the problem i run into is this. How would i get a contact with more then one field? For example i have 15 fields under a district and some person might go between 2 or 3 fields. I could add them to the district but then it would not be precise enough.
Other then completely redoing the relations how might i get around this?
My only option i can possibly think of is adding a primary Field and adding the others under Addresses but we aren't currently planning to use this or ask people to look there.Monday, February 1, 2010 10:29 PM

Use Relationship Roles, its a built-in N:N for Accounts and Contacts.

Adding a Many to Many relationship will give you the ability to parent Contacts with more than one Account.

do you want to filter the records as you progress down with your hiarchy?
look at the pseudo filtered lookup and then having N:N to contact will help.

I added a many to many and it still doesn't want to function, hence why i asked... guess i should have specified that first.
I added a N:N on ... the account entity and it still does want to work. I added contact_account.
Is there something i am doing wrong or am i just adding it in the wrong place and not understanding...
I also added similar account_contact on the contact entity, still nothing. I'm so confused :STuesday, February 2, 2010 3:19 PM -
