Account Values on the Contact (forumula field)

Through the webservice, I can reference account fields like "Account.Custom_Field__c"  I need to create a View in SFDC of contacts based on account field values. 

I haven't been able to create a custom contact formula field that pulls in the contacts account value for a specific field.  Is there a way to do this?  Is there an easier way to mange this?

Thank you.

Right, custom formula fields cannot yet pull in values from related objects.  That functionality will be coming soon.

Note that you can access related object information from formulas in Workflow Field Updates.
