And to see items in the archive .pst file, you'll need to create new activities groups (on the Properties dialog for the Contacts folder) that show the archive .pst file's folders. You can't use one group to see items in two different .pst files.

To answer the first part of the question:

what do you mean by you've just started linking emails to contacts? They
are already "linked" to them. Have a look on the Activities Tab of each
Contact (wait a few seconds) and you'll see all Items that relate to that
Contact (as long as they're not yet filed away into Archive.pst or any other
.pst file)

I have just started linking emails to my contacts, I have also started
archiving my emails, when an email moves to the archive folder it is no
longer linked to the contact. Is there a way to change this?
