Hi sandhya reddy 10

We are also having problems with this module. We've gone through all the steps as you have shown in the screen shots, but when it comes to adding myself as an Account Team Account Manager, the option for Account manager does not appear.

It is in the main admin list:

But not in the Account relationship section of Acme (list is ordered alphabetically)

It must have been there a few weeks ago when I completed the module, but since the release of the new modules a week ago, colleagues have not been able to complete the challenge.
Can anyone help please?

John Bauerle, I was stuck at the same thing the turning point to me was when I got to the Account Page Layouts, I edited Account Layout (forget about Sales, support Marketing,etc), and drag the Related Contacts to the related list and that did it.

I was having the same problem, until I noticed if you scroll down the left hand side of the box where you drag in the fields, there is a category called "Related Lists" and Related Contacts is in that list.

I had the same problem and a new one - when I go to Setup there is no option for Account Settings. Had to dig through ther layout section under 'build' and still no 'related contacts' anywhere.
