&lt;p&gt;I think the best way would be to add the Contacts table to the Customer table as a dropdown. The dropdown would be based on the recordID of the Contacts table.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span id="mce_1_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span id="mce_2_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://qa1.methodintegration.com/method/AccountPages/AlocetSystem/ImagesPublished/ReferralDropdown1.jpg" width="800" height="416" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span id="mce_1_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span id="mce_2_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img src="https://qa1.methodintegration.com/method/AccountPages/AlocetSystem/ImagesPublished/ReferralDropdown2.jpg" width="800" height="416" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then add a linked field of the Name field from the Contacts table to the Customer table.&lt;span id="mce_3_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://qa1.methodintegration.com/method/AccountPages/AlocetSystem/ImagesPublished/LinkedField.jpg" width="800" height="415" alt="" /&gt;&lt;span id="mce_4_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;This will then make these field available in the EditLead screen. Just edit this screen and add the dropdown field you created to the screen. I&amp;#39;d suggest going through our &lt;span id="mce_6_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span id="mce_7_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="mce_8_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.methodintegration.com/method/kb.aspx?folder=MethodCRM&amp;amp;article=Method-V1&amp;amp;id=369#main11" target="_blank"&gt;C&lt;span id="mce_5_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ust&lt;span id="mce_5_end" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;omization Webinars&lt;span id="mce_8_end" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span id="mce_6_end" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span id="mce_7_end" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;to get a handle on handle on this and customization in general. &amp;nbsp;If you have any questions, just reply back to this post and I&amp;#39;ll be happy to answer them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Is there a way to tie it back to the referring&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id="mce_7_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ustomer record?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span id="mce_1_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span id="mce_4_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span id="mce_5_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;For example say existing&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Customer - Heather Jones refers Potential Customer - John Davis&lt;span id="mce_6_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lead source would be &amp;quot;External Referral&amp;quot; but to take it a step further I&amp;#39;d like to ID/link the existing contact that provided the referral, in this case Heather Jones.&lt;span id="mce_8_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id="mce_9_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Can a &amp;quot;Referral From&amp;quot; field be added to leads that links to the existing contact?&lt;span id="mce_10_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
